Former Nepali PM Can Travel Again, Says Commission Probing Protests that Overthrew His Gov’t

Travel restrictions on former Nepalese Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli were lifted after he provided statements to a judicial inquiry commission and the National Human Rights Commission investigating September’s anti-corruption protests that toppled his government, left 77 dead, and injured over 2,000; both commissions, which have interviewed officials, security leaders, protesters, victims, and families, are finalizing reports expected within three weeks ahead of March elections amid ongoing questions about the inquiry chair’s impartiality and skepticism from Oli’s UML party.
