Nepal Probe Panel to Summon Ex-PM Over Gen Z Protest

Nepal Probe Panel to Summon Ex-PM Oli Over Gen Z Protest Violence.

Nepal’s interim government-appointed commission investigating the alleged excessive use of force during the September 8–9 Gen Z protests will summon former Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli for clarification, officials said Thursday.

During the protests in Kathmandu, at least 19 youths demonstrating against the Oli government were killed in police firing, with the nationwide death toll from the two days of unrest reaching 77.

Oli has previously questioned the commission’s legitimacy and impartiality, stating that he would not appear before it.
