[Nepal] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On March 29, 2025, the Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) staged peaceful protests across all 77 districts of Nepal, demanding justice for a journalist killed during a pro-monarchy demonstration in Kathmandu the previous day. The protests called for action against those responsible for attacks on journalists and media houses.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether protests expand beyond journalist-focused demands to broader political grievances.

Watch points

• Monitor whether protests expand beyond media worker safety issues to include broader political or economic demands that could affect commercial operations
• Track government response and any restrictions on movement or assembly that could impact logistics networks across Nepal's districts
