A bullet through Liza Adhikari’s arm still hasn’t healed.

No officer has faced charges, even as the government marks the protests with a holiday.

Security forces shot Adhikari, then 21, outside parliament in September 2025, and she later traveled to India for nerve surgery with recovery uncertain.

Nepal marked its first Gen-Z Martyrs’ Day Tuesday, and prosecutors have not said whether charges are coming.
