Nepal Arrest Royalist Leaders For Defying Prohibitory Orders
Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) President Rajendra Lingden (wearing Dhaka Topi) walks out of the Singhadurbar, the administrative capital of Nepal, to defy the prohibitory order during a pro-monarch protest in Kathmandu, Nepal, on April 20, 2025. The RPP wages a legal and political struggle for the unconditional release of party leaders Rabindra Mishra and Dhawal Shumsher Rana. Mishra and Rana are arrested following deadly violence on March 28 for inciting the mob. The violence claims the lives of two people and injures over one hundred as the capital witnesses arsons and vandalism. The party, which demands the reinstatement of a constitutional monarchy and the establishment of Nepal as a Hindu state, stages a protest assembly at Balkhu as designated by the government on April 8.
