In Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, police opened fire on protesters who were demonstrating against the ban on social media. As a result, at least 11 people were killed and dozens were injured, reports 'Glavkom' citing CNN.
Dr. Badri Risal informed that 58 injured individuals are in the National Trauma Center, many of them in serious condition. They sustained injuries to the head and chest.
The protests in Nepal took place due to the government's decision to block social media. Protesters are demanding the reversal of this ban and also fighting against corruption, which remains unpunished.
«Stop the ban on social media, stop corruption, not social media», - chanted the demonstrators. Their actions have been called the protest of Generation Z.
According to official government information, several social media platforms received notifications about the need to register their companies in Nepal, but some ignored this. Those who registered can continue their activities.
The event also mentions another incident in Nepal, where two buses fell into a river due to a landslide, resulting in several fatalities.
