KATHMANDU (Reuters) -Weeping relatives held funerals on Tuesday for loved ones at a sacred Hindu site in Nepal's capital of Kathmandu, after their deaths in anti-graft protests last week that brought a change of government in the Himalayan nation.
At least 72 people died in the unrest and the vandalism and arson that followed "Gen Z" protests by young people frustrated at a lack of opportunities and perceived government lethargy, with more than 2,100 injured.
