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.
