Nepal Probe Urges Prosecution of KP Sharma Oli Over Deadly 2025 Gen Z Protests

• A Nepal government-backed investigation recommends prosecuting former PM KP Sharma Oli and other officials for the deadly September 2025 uprising.
• The report holds Oli responsible for "negligence" in failing to prevent hours of firing that killed dozens during anti-corruption protests.
• At least 19 Gen Z protesters died on the first day, with a total of 76 deaths and 2,522 wounded over two days of unrest.
• Former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak and ex-police chief Chandra Kuber Khapung are also recommended for prosecution, facing up to 10 years jail if convicted.
• Legal experts caution that a criminal investigation is required before any court proceedings, as the report itself is not a charge sheet.
