Hundreds of people took to the streets in Nepal's capital on Sunday to protest the government's eviction of landless squatters without first providing alternative housing, amid growing criticism over the treatment of displaced families and youth activists.
The demonstration, organised by the Joint National Squatters Front, was held at Maitighar Mandala, near the Singhdurbar Secretariat in Kathmandu. Protesters carried placards reading "end the atrocity against the poor people", "respect human rights", "stop illegal arrest", and "provide shelter to the squatters".
