Videos circulating on social media show the foreign minister being assaulted, punched in the face and kicked, by angry demonstrators who stormed her residence in Kathmandu.
Protests in Nepal were fuelled by a social media ban imposed by the KP Oli government. The restriction on 26 social media platforms became the flashpoint for thousands of young Nepalis, who took to the streets demanding the Prime Minister’s resignation amid rising corruption and authoritarianism.
On the first day of demonstrations, 19 people, mostly students, were killed. In the aftermath, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli revoked the ban and announced his resignation.
With the Prime Minister out of office, the Nepalese army has taken control and imposed a nationwide curfew until order is restored.
