Nepal, Sept. 29 -- Constitutional experts and members of civil society have criticized the decision of Home Minister Om Prakash Aryal to "not arrest" those involved in vandalism and arson in the September 8 and 9 Gen Z protests.

On Saturday, the Home Minister issued a notice instructing police to refrain from arresting protesters of the Gen Z movement. The notice followed the arrest of around 100 people linked to vandalism, looting, and arson of public property on September 9.

The minister justified avoiding a crackdown by citing the ongoing investigation of the High-Level Judicial Inquiry Commission formed to identify the culprits behind the killings and vandalism during the protests.
