Gen Z protests erupt after social media ban in Nepal

Описание: Gen Z protesters have set fire to Nepal’s parliament and the prime minister’s house, forcing his resignation, amid a deadly crackdown on dissent sparked by a social media ban.

KP Sharma Oli, the four-time prime minister and leader of the Communist Party, stood down on Tuesday after violent youth demonstrations in Kathmandu left at least 19 people dead and more than 500 injured on Monday.

The unprecedented violence left the capital shrouded in smoke and forced security forces to retreat, with ministers reportedly plucked to safety by military helicopters after some were chased down the street and assaulted.
