Association of International NGOs (AIN) in Nepal strongly condemns the reported acts of violence inflicted on Gen Z during today’s demonstrations in Nepal. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected. FELM Nepal, as a member of AIN, wishes to extend its heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims.
The use of force resulting in the loss of life is unacceptable. It represents a grave violation of the fundamental rights to life, peaceful assembly, and freedom of expression.
As a signatory to the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, Nepal is legally bound to protect children’s right to peaceful assembly. Failure to do so is not only a legal violation but a moral failure. AIN, deeply shocked and saddened by this act, calls for accountability, justice, and the protection of human rights for all, and decisive action to protect children from further harm.
