The mother of one Gen-Z protester who was shot dead during last Monday’s deadly protest, mourns during a cremation ritual at Pashupatinath Temple on September 16, 2025 in Kathmandu, Nepal. Nepal has been rocked by massive youth-led protests in September 2025, triggered by anger over government corruption, nepotism, and the banning of popular social media platforms, dubbed the ‘Gen-Z protests.’
Organized to oppose the Sept. 5 government ban on social media, the Gen Z protests have claimed the lives of 72 people.
