On 8 September 2025, thousands of young Nepalis gathered peacefully in Kathmandu to protest against corruption and government failures. Instead of listening, the government answered with violence and censorship.

1. A 16 year old student in school uniform was shot dead.
2. Police fired live bullets and tear gas at peaceful crowds, aiming at heads and chests.
3. Hospitals were attacked - tear gas fired near Civil Service Hospital, and blood donors beaten at Bir Hospital.
4. The government banned Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and YouTube to silence millions of voices. Families at home and abroad were cut off.
5. This is not law enforcement. This is state violence and murder of minors.

Who Is Responsible?
We hold accountable:

1. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli
2. Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak (resigned but still responsible)
3. Raju Aryal, Head of Armed Police Force
4. Chhabi Lal Rijal, Chief District Administration Officer, Kathmandu
5. Prithvi Subba Gurung, Minister of Communication & IT 

They must not only resign - they must face independent investigation and prosecution.

Violations of Law
These acts violate:

1. Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) - Articles 6, 13, 15, 37
2. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) - Articles 6, 19, 21
3. Nepal’s Constitution (2015) - Articles 17, 18, 19, 35

What We Demand
We call on the UN, UNICEF, OHCHR, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and democratic governments (US, UK, EU) to:

1. Condemn the killings of minors and protestors.
2. Launch an independent UN investigation.
3. Demand the restoration of digital freedoms.
4. Apply diplomatic pressure to stop violence.
5. Ensure prosecution of those responsible.
