Panel Recommends Prosecution of Ousted Nepal PM Oli Over Gen Z Protest Deaths

• A Nepali panel recommends prosecuting former PM KP Sharma Oli for "negligence" in preventing deaths during September 2025 anti-corruption protests.
• Oli is held responsible for failing to stop firing that killed at least 19 Gen Z protesters on the first day of demonstrations.
• The report states 76 people were killed and 2,522 wounded during two days of unrest, leading to Oli's resignation.
• Oli's home minister, Ramesh Lekhak, and then police chief, Chandra Kuber Khapung, are also recommended for prosecution.
• If found guilty, the three could face up to 10 years in jail, but a criminal investigation is required before formal charges.
