The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has expressed concern regarding the excessive use of force by the police, which resulted in the killings of around 19 student members, including a 7-year-old child, on 8 September 2025 in Nepal. More than an estimated 500 young people who called themselves “Gen Z” were also injured during the anti-corruption protest, and after the government decided to shut down social media platforms, including Facebook and YouTube.  Protests were carried out all over the country, and curfews have been placed in many cities of the country.
