In a tragic turn of events, young lives were lost amid violent protests in Nepal last week, with families grappling with the reality of their losses. Everyone said rubber bullet, rubber bullet. It was not a rubber bullet. If you see my son, his head was broken, a hole is there, exclaimed Narendra Shrestha, who mourned his 21-year-old son, Sulov, among the deceased.
The protests were ignited by a government ban on social media, illustrating the growing frustration over corruption within the Nepali leadership. Over 70 individuals were killed in the unrest that followed, prompting families of the victims to call for accountability amidst their grief. Survivors recount the horrors of being shot, and medical personnel reported treating victims with injuries from both sharp and rubber bullets.
Rasik KC shared the desperate search for answers after losing his nephew, calling for justice against what many perceive as governmental negligence. As the newly appointed interim Prime Minister, Sushila Karki faces an uphill battle to restore public trust, the deaths of these young protesters symbolize a deep-rooted disillusionment with governance.
As protests escalated, law enforcement was accused of firing indiscriminately into crowds, leading to rising casualty figures. The aftermath raises profound questions not only about the immediate safety of citizens but also about the future of democracy and accountability in Nepal. The hope for an effective investigation and justice hangs heavy in the air, as families cherish the memories of their loved ones cut short by violence.
