Police open fire on protesters in Nepal; 17 killed

NIRANJAN SHRESTHA Associated Press RIOT POLICE use water cannons on protesters during clashes outside parliament in Kathmandu.

Police in Nepal’s capital of Kathmandu opened fire Monday on demonstrators protesting a government attempt to regulate social media that blocked some of the world’s largest platforms, including Facebook, X and YouTube. At least 17 people were killed.

Rallies swept the streets around the parliament building, which was surrounded by tens of thousands of people angry at authorities who said the companies had failed to register and submit to government oversight. At least 145 people were wounded, officials said.

Protesters pushed through barbed wire and forced riot police to retreat inside the parliament complex.
