KATHMANDU, NEPAL – A leaked investigation report into Nepal’s deadly 2023 uprising has recommended the prosecution of a former prime minister and several senior officials over alleged human rights abuses during the government crackdown.
The confidential report, which has been circulating among political circles and media outlets in Kathmandu, reportedly implicates the former premier in ordering excessive force against protesters during the weeks-long demonstrations that left over 50 people dead and hundreds injured.
According to sources familiar with the document, the inquiry commission found evidence of extrajudicial killings, unlawful detentions, and the use of live ammunition against unarmed civilians. The report also calls for disciplinary action against senior police and military commanders who oversaw the security response.
The government has not officially released the report, and officials have declined to comment on the leaked contents. The former prime minister, who has since left office, denied any wrongdoing, describing the allegations as “politically motivated.”
Human rights groups have called for the immediate release of the full report and urged the government to act on its recommendations.
The 2023 uprising, sparked by controversial constitutional amendments, marked one of the deadliest periods of civil unrest in Nepal’s recent history.
