Nepal Police form a human barricade as supporters and members of the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) gather in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 29, 2026, demanding the release of party chair and former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. Protests have continued in Nepal since Oli's arrest on March 28, related to the use of force during the Gen-Z protest in September of the previous year. Supporters and members of the CPN-UML have been confronting police as they demand Oli's release. Tensions escalated after a dispute between protesters and police, with reports of stone-throwing by demonstrators and baton charges by police to control the situation. The UML announced nationwide protests following Oli's arrest. Protesters are calling for Oli's release and the resignation of Home Minister Sudhan Gurung. They demand an impartial investigation into the incidents of September 8 and 9, 2025, and the scrapping of a report led by Gauri Bahadur Karki, which they claim is biased. The party also calls for a fair investigation into acts of vandalism, arson, and looting during the protests, and legal action against those involved. Additionally, they stress the need for a serious 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 on September 8 and 9, 2025. Authorities have filed charges related to homicide, leading to his detention for investigation.
