Nepal is engulfed in chaos as violent anti-government uprisings coincide with an unprecedented nationwide prison break, freeing at least 13,000 inmates across all 77 districts. Inmates exploited the turmoil to clash with security forces and attempt mass escapes, including juvenile detention centers, where five minors were killed and four injured during stand-offs. High-profile detainee Rabi Lamichhane was released from Nakkhu Central Jail, while hundreds of prisoners and detainees slipped through security across the nation. Meanwhile, destruction spread to the judiciary as the Supreme Court, Attorney General’s office, and 17 lower courts were set ablaze or destroyed amid the unrest.
