1 Killed, Army Deployed In Nepal Amid Massive Protests Over Social Media Ban
At least one person was killed in violent clashes in Nepal's Kathmandu as Gen Z protestors took to the streets to protest over corruption and the government's social media ban. The army was deployed in the Nepali capital following the imposition of a curfew in the area.
What began as a peaceful march escalated when protesters broke through barricades and entered restricted zones near Parliament.
Police responded with water cannons, teargas, and rubber bullets after demonstrators threw tree branches and water bottles and shouted anti-government slogans, with some protesters reportedly managing to enter the Parliament compound, intensifying the situation.
