Actress Manisha Koirala has expressed deep sorrow and anger regarding the violent suppression of protestors in Nepal, labeling the events as a “black day for Nepal.” Her sentiments come amidst a period of intense unrest in the country, largely driven by the younger generation seeking justice, transparency, and the right to express their views. Koirala shared a poignant image of a bloodied shoe, accompanied by a message in Nepali that translates to: “Today is a black day for Nepal when bullets respond to the voice of the people, outrage against corruption and demand for justice.” The protests, which took a deadly turn, saw security forces open fire on demonstrators in Kathmandu, resulting in at least 19 deaths and over 300 injuries. The government subsequently ordered the resumption of social media sites following demands from the youth.
