KATHMANDU: The National Human Rights Commission of Nepal has recommended further investigation and possible action against former judge Gauri Bahadur Karki in connection with the Gen-Z protests that took place on September 8 and 9, 2025.
Karki had served as coordinator of the high-level probe committee formed by the government to investigate the incidents surrounding the Gen-Z movement.
According to the commission’s report made public on Wednesday, further investigation is necessary to determine whether Karki was involved in any wrongdoing related to the protests.
The commission stated that social media content, news reports, and findings from the National Investigation Department indicated that Karki and others had made public statements regarding the Gen-Z demonstrations before, during, and after the protests.
Based on those materials, the commission concluded that additional inquiry was warranted and recommended action if any involvement in unlawful activities or human rights violations is established.
