The 2020-2021 Nepalese protests is a national uprising and massive protest movement which has been cracked down on since December 2 in Nepal, after a decision by prime minister K. P. Sharma Oli to discuss and take away the government, dissolve parliament and never restore a monarchy since it's overthrow in the 2006 Nepalese revolution. The mass protests have been led by tens of thousands of protesters have been taking place in Kathmandu and two other major towns. Growing anti-government discontent has been silenced but police brutality has been stepping up during strikes as well, fearing another massacre like the Tiakpur massacre. On 29 December, after 6 protests, hundreds of thousands took to the streets demanding the resignation of K. P. Sharma Oli and the restoration of the National monarchy. Nepalese civilians protested peacefully throughout Nepal, not just Kathmandu. On 8–10 January 2021, a two-day strike was held nationwide in protest at the government. A mass rally was held on 20–21 January 2021, when thousands took to the streets to protest the dissolution of parliament. Clashes took place between police and protesters.[1][2][3]
