STORYLINE:
Grieving families of protesters killed by police during violent protests in Nepal this week gathered in the capital on Thursday, expressing anger at authorities and seeking information about their missing loved ones.
Families held a candlelight vigil outside a hospital morgue in Kathmandu and announced plans to meet with Nepal army officials to seek justice.
“We need to fight for justice for our family who were killed and we cannot stay silent any longer. We have lost our loved ones, but politics seem to take priority and no one has even approached us," said Kamal Subedi, uncle of Roshan Newpane, killed in the violence.
Earlier on Thursday, hundreds of people crowded Nepal’s main airport in Kathmandu to get a flight out of the country, as confusion set in over who governs the Himalayan nation after violent protests toppled the country’s government.
The Health Ministry said that 34 people were killed and 1,368 wounded in protests on Monday and Tuesday. They were sparked by a short-lived social media ban and fuelled by broader discontent over corruption and unemployment.
Nepal’s army took control of the capital Tuesday night after two days of huge protests that left the presidential residence and government buildings in flames and forced the prime minister to resign and flee.
The toll of the dead and wounded has been rising as reports on casualties trickled in from other parts of the country.
Protesters said they are demanding state honors for their loved ones and are not interested in monetary compensation.
Bhol Bahadur Bishwokarma was seeking information about his brother, Santosh Bishwokarma, who was killed by police fire.
“We have heard that the body is in the hospital morgue here but no one has confirmed that or in what condition and shape the body is in. We have not even been able to see the body. We demand the government address our concern at the earliest," he said.
In the capital, residents rushed to buy food staples like rice, vegetables and meat early Thursday, when the army briefly lifted a curfew. Armed soldiers were guarding the streets, checking vehicles and offering assistance to those in need.
Residents of the capital were left wondering who was in charge.
