Protests in Nepal Over Corruption and Social Media Ban

At least fourteen people have died amid widespread protests in Nepal, according to its state-run TV.

The demonstrations in the country’s capital Kathmandu aim to end corruption in the country and call for the government to lift its ban on social media platforms.

Several social media sites, including Facebook, YouTube, and X, have been inaccessible in Nepal since Friday after the government blocked 26 unregistered platforms, leaving users angry and confused.
