Protest In Nepal Demanding Release Of Former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli Turns Violent, Multiple Injured And Arrested

Supporters of the Communist Party of Nepal- Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) chant slogans in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 29, 2026, calling for the release of party chair and former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli from police custody. Protests have continued in Nepal since Oli's arrest on March 28, following allegations of force used during the Gen-Z protest in September of the previous year. Demonstrators and police have clashed, with reports of stone-throwing by protesters and baton charges by police to control the situation. The UML announced nationwide protests after Oli's arrest, demanding his release and the resignation of Home Minister Sudhan Gurung. Supporters are also calling for an impartial investigation into incidents on September 8 and 9, 2025, and the scrapping of a report led by Gauri Bahadur Karki, which they claim is biased. The party demands a fair investigation into acts of vandalism, arson, and looting during the protests, and legal action against those involved. They also call for a probe into the alleged involvement of various non-governmental organizations. The new government under Prime Minister Balendra Shah has accused Oli in connection with deaths during the Gen-Z protests, leading to charges related to homicide and his detention for investigation.
