[Nepal] 시위: 평화로운 시위

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 pro-monarchy demonstrations in Kathmandu the previous day. The protests focused on calling 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. While the protests were reported as peaceful and focused on press freedom issues, broader political instability stemming from pro-monarchy demonstrations could potentially affect Nepal's role as a transit corridor between China and India if tensions escalate significantly.

Watch points

• Monitor for any escalation in political tensions following the journalist's death and whether pro-monarchy demonstrations continue or expand
• Track government response to journalist safety concerns and whether media restrictions are implemented that could affect information flow about economic conditions
