**Nepal Forms Probe into Deadly ‘Gen Z’ Protests**

**Kathmandu, Nepal – September 21, 2025:** Nepal’s interim government, led by Sushila Karki, has established a three-member independent commission to investigate the recent “Gen Z” protests that resulted in 72 deaths and the collapse of the K.P. Sharma Oli government.

The commission, headed by former Supreme Court Justice Gauri Bahadur Karki, includes former Additional Inspector General of Police Bigyan Ran Sharma and legal expert Bishweshwor Prasad Bhandari. Home Minister Om Prakash Aryal announced the formation of the commission at the Singhdurbar Secretariat, stating that the body has been tasked with delivering a report to the government within three months.

The establishment of this high-level probe directly addresses a primary demand from the “Gen Z” protesters, who took to the streets earlier this month to demonstrate against alleged government corruption and a controversial ban on social media platforms.

The protests, which turned violent on September 8th and 9th, led to the deaths of at least 72 people, including three police officers. The demonstrators are now calling for the arrest of former Prime Minister Oli and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, alleging their involvement in a shooting that resulted in 19 deaths during the unrest. Injured protesters gathered outside the Central Administration office today to submit a memorandum demanding medical treatment, accountability, and legal action for those who ordered the police firing. The investigation is expected to provide a comprehensive account of the events leading up to and during the protests, as well as to determine responsibility for the violence and loss of life.
