BBC News عربي3m 12s

Nepal experienced major protests in September 2025 that resulted in 77 deaths, leading to the arrest of former Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli and his interior minister for criminal negligence. A rapper named Palindra Shah was elected as the new Prime Minister after winning on an anti-corruption platform.

Summary

Nepal underwent significant political upheaval following deadly protests in September 2025. The demonstrations, primarily led by Generation Z protesters, erupted due to social media restrictions but were fueled by deeper issues including corruption, unemployment, and economic recession. The protests turned violent when authorities killed 77 people, mostly protesters shot by police, and resulted in fires at government buildings including Parliament, the High Court, and Central Government headquarters. Six months after these events, Nepal held elections for Prime Minister, which were won by Palindra Shah, a rapper who had become a political figure. Shah, who represents the capital Kathmandu and joined the four-year-old Rastafarian party, campaigned with rap songs criticizing corruption and social inequality. The day after Shah's victory, former Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli (74 years old) and his interior minister (62 years old) were arrested as part of a police investigation into their alleged negligence in preventing the killings during the protests. Both face charges of criminal negligence in a committee-formed investigation. Oli and his Nepalese Communist Party reject the charges, calling the arrest illegal and motivated by revenge, while victims' families demand prosecution of officials. Following Oli's arrest, his supporters organized protest marches that clashed with police near the Prime Minister's office, with police using tear gas and bullets to disperse demonstrators.
