(MountEverest.net)"Huge rally on now: 150,000 demonstrators surrounded the city on the Ring road, started to push into the main city, against the curfew," a climber reported to ExWeb in the past two hours."This is going to get very ugly. There are reports of 3 dead so far - only in first few minutes of the demonstrations." Another dispatched from Kathmandu:"Things are getting messy..apparently 115000 protesters at Ring road....3 killed and many injured...not sure whether we will get out today at all. If they try to break the curfew and enter the city..."

Curfew defied

As expected, the King’s government established a curfew in Kathmandu and other towns to prevent people to attend to the demonstrations scheduled today by the Seven Party Alliance today.

But tens of thousands of people have defied the curfew orders and organized demonstrations against the government. Police is charging against demonstrators, and at least three people have died - more than 50 are seriously injured. Number of casualties may rise in upcoming hours.

Effects on visiting foreigners

Whilst foreigners are not in direct danger, the country’s situation has gone beyond a point of no return. DCXP climbers reported the curfew was also active in Lukla yesterday. Today, they report that the local airlines have followed the call for strike, and are not working.

Nepal’s Tourism Board has fleeted a bus service for tourists arriving at KTM airport to take them into town, since transport companies are following the strike as well.

Nepal's King Gyanendra took abslute power in February 1, 2005. Since then, opposition has grown among off-parliament parties, who have formed a Seven Party Alliance against the monarch. The seven parties established a series of protests and called for a general strike three weeks ago. The king has tried to minimize the effect of protests by establishing intermintent curfews and using force against demonstrators..
