I hope it doesn’t get too out of control and anti-social elements hijack the process.

OMG, I was just reading an AMA with a student in Nepal talking about the protests last night. Horrible!

Today in Nepal, a protest started peacefully at 11 am. People were demanding accountability for corruption and criticizing ministers kids flaunting luxury cars, designer clothes, and expensive vacations on social media while ordinary citizens struggle to make ends meet. The government recently banned 26 social media platforms which sparked the protest, but the frustration is deeper than that. People are tired of inequality, corruption, and being silenced.
By 4 pm, 14 people have been killed including minors and more than 50 are seriously injured. 200+ people have injuries. Authorities responded with extreme force crushing people who are standing up for their rights. Watching teenagers die for demanding justice is unbearable. Hospitals are overwhelmed and chaos is spreading. The world needs to see this. Please share and help spread the word. Every post and every share can make a difference.

Is violence really necessary during protests?

It’s not just against social media ban
It’s against corruption and overall failure of the government to make us fell same and provide us with basic facilities while them and their kids enjoy foreign trips and ultra luxury brands and lifestyles

Smells like Bangladesh again. Would be interested to see which side the new government leans towards.

We are protesting against rampant corruption in our government. Almost all our prime ministers and ministers have faced allegations of embezzling huge amounts of funds intended for development. But none of them ever face any consequences while 20 percent of Nepal’s population lives under absolute poverty, on less than 72908 rupees (517 US dollars) a year. Our politicians openly post about their lavish lifestyle, which they clearly cannot sustain based on legal income, while the rest of us suffer due to our taxes being misused to buy their families Gucci bags and fund their expensive vacations abroad

Even the BBC is trying to spin it as a protest against social media ban. The protest is against corruption first and censorship second. They are trying to change the narrative.
