‘This is our revolution. It’s our turn now’: Nepal’s ‘gen Z protesters’ speak out against corruption

Young Nepalis led a mass protest in Kathmandu on Monday and have paid for it with bullet wounds or their lives

The whiteboard listing the names of patients at a hospital in central Kathmandu tells the story of a protest gone badly wrong. Beside each name is written their ages; 18, 22, 20, 18, 23. The list goes on.

By Wednesday morning there were still scores of Nepal’s young being treated for gunshot wounds and injuries sustained when police opened fire on protesters in Kathmandu on Monday.
