KATHMANDU: The judicial commission formed to investigate the suppression of the Gen Z protests in Nepal earlier in the month recommended on Sunday the seizure of passports of the deposed PM KP Sharma Oli and four others.
The commission also instructed Oli, former home minister Ramesh Lekhak and others to seek permission if they wished to leave Kathmandu, ensuring accountability as investigations against them proceed, according to a statement by Bigyan Raj Sharma, a member of the commission. The development comes a day after Oli denied giving shooting orders during the 'Gen Z' protests. At least 19 protesters were shot dead during the police firing on Sept 8, the first day of the Gen Z protest that led to Oli's ouster the next day. As violence continued, toll during the two-day protests reached 75.
