[Nepal] Protests: 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, including Siddharthanagar in Rupandehi district, 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. If the protests expand beyond journalist advocacy groups or turn violent, they could disrupt domestic transportation networks, though the current peaceful nature suggests minimal immediate supply chain risk.

Watch points

• Monitor whether protests expand beyond media-focused demonstrations to broader political movements that could affect transportation networks
• Track any escalation from peaceful demonstrations to disruptive activities that might impact Nepal's limited cross-border trade corridors with India and China
