Washington, USA – Senior U.S.-based Nepali lawyer Bashu Phulara has expressed deep concern over the recent tragic events in Nepal, where young members of Generation Z peacefully protested against corruption and injustice.
In a statement shared on social media, Phulara emphasized:“Where voices are ignored, true democracy cannot exist. In Nepal, brave Generation Z youths peacefully spoke out against injustice and corruption—fundamental rights protected under law—but some lost their lives instead of being heard. It is our ethical and legal duty to honor their sacrifice, uphold justice, and ensure such violations of rights never happen again. A nation becomes truly strong only when every citizen’s voice is respected, valued, and protected under the law.”
Phulara, a senior lawyer with decades of experience advocating for human rights, highlighted that the protection of civic freedoms is essential for any democratic nation. He called upon authorities to investigate the incidents, hold those responsible accountable, and ensure that peaceful protests are protected rather than suppressed.
This statement has resonated widely among the Nepali diaspora in the U.S. and beyond, drawing attention to the need for justice, transparency, and respect for the rights of all citizens, especially the youth who are the future of the nation.
