Nepal has lifted its social media ban after nationwide “Gen Z” protests against corruption left 19 dead and over 100 injured.

Multiple independent and reliable news sources confirm that Nepal imposed a ban on numerous social media platforms, which triggered widespread protests primarily led by the younger generation, often referred to as 'Gen Z. ' These protests were fueled by grievances over government corruption and the social media restrictions. The demonstrations escalated into violent clashes with security forces, resulting in at least 19 fatalities and more than 100 injuries.

Following the unrest, the Nepalese government officially lifted the social media ban. The lifting of the ban was publicly announced by government officials and widely reported across international media outlets. The protests also prompted the government to announce relief measures for victims' families and to establish a panel to investigate the causes of the violence.

While some minor discrepancies exist in reported injury counts (some sources mention over 300 injured), the core facts about deaths, protests, social media ban, and its subsequent lifting are consistent across sources.
