Fifty youths, including passers-by, detained from Baluwatar ahead of ‘Enough is Enough’ protest

Police claim the youths were protesting in a restricted zone, but protesters say the planned rally could not happen following random arrests.

Nepal Police personnel on Friday swooped up around 50 youths from the streets of Baluwatar, where a peaceful protest had been called by the ‘ Enough is Enough’ campaign against the government’s poor handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
