At least 19 protesters were killed and over 100 injured in Nepal during clashes with security forces on Monday. Thousands of young people, in a protest dubbed "Gen Z," marched against government corruption and a recent social media ban. The demonstration, initially peaceful, escalated after protesters breached Parliament. A curfew was imposed in parts of Kathmandu following the violence. The protests were fueled by public anger over corruption and the government's decision to block several social media platforms, further escalating tensions.
