In Nepal today, police opened fire on thousands of pro-democracy protesters as they marched towards the capital of Katmandu. At least three people were killed and more than 40 injured. The protesters turned out in the face of government warnings that anyone caught violating a curfew would be “shot on sight.” The shootings come just one day after Nepal’s worst day of government repression since pro-democracy protests broke out two weeks ago. On Wednesday, four people were killed and dozens more injured when police shot at another demonstration in an eastern town. Police reportedly directed the protesters towards a stadium before they opened fire.
