Deadly police violence crushed protests in Nepal organized by job seekers, leaving two protesters dead and several injured. Hundreds took to the streets against what they condemned as stricter job conditions abroad.

Protesters set a Nepalese minister’s car on fire while police forces dispersed the crowd with tear gas.

Last year, Nepal plunged into its first recession in six decades as economic performance was hit by inflation and political instability. It was the first time the government officially acknowledged that the country was in recession.

Unemployment is rising due to the struggling economy and lack of job opportunities, forcing young people to leave the country to work abroad. The protesters were mainly young Nepalese people applying for jobs in South Korea.
