The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has released a report holding former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, and former Communications Minister Prithvi Subba Gurung accountable for human rights violations during the Gen Z protests. The commission also recommended action against senior security officials and noted shortcomings by the Nepal Army, attributing the security apparatus's failure to control the situation to leadership negligence.

  • The NHRC report recommends new legislation to punish political leaders involved in human rights violations, including potential imprisonment, fines, and bans on political appointments or elections for at least five years.
  • The commission identified specific security officials from the Nepal Police, Armed Police Force, and National Investigation Department as responsible for indiscriminate and careless use of lethal weapons.
  • The report also raised questions about the unauthorized release of Rabi Lamichhane from Nakkhu Prison, recommending a detailed investigation into the alleged involvement of Rastriya Swatantra Party leaders.
  • The NHRC criticized the Nepali Army for delayed mobilization and lack of cooperation during the protests, despite requests for assistance from the Chief District Officer of Kathmandu.
  • The report examined the roles of various individuals, including social media influencers and journalists, who made public statements during or after the protests.
