Nepal imposes curfew after Gen Z protests turn violent over app ban, corruption
Massive protests led by Generation Z erupted in Kathmandu following the Nepal government’s decision to ban unregistered social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The demonstrators, angered by government censorship and alleged corruption, clashed with police near Parliament, resulting in violence, injuries, and extended curfews in key areas. Protesters vandalized the Parliament gate and broke through barricades, prompting police to respond with rubber bullets, water cannons, and tear gas. Two people were injured, including a journalist. Curfews were imposed in high-security zones like the President’s and Prime Minister’s residences. The ban has sparked nationwide outrage, with celebrities voicing support and encouraging accountability. The government claims the ban aims to enforce tax compliance and content regulation. However, critics argue it is a crackdown on free expression. The bill behind the ban is yet to pass in Parliament, further intensifying public dissatisfaction. The youth-led protests highlight deep frustrations with the government.
