In Nepal, thousands of people marched through the capital Kathmandu to mark the one-year anniversary of the end to King Gyanendra’s absolute rule. Gyanendra was forced to hand over power following a massive popular uprising. At least 22 people were killed and thousands injured during the weeks of protest. Tuesday’s celebration later turned into a protest from pro-democracy activists for a complete end to Nepal’s monarchy.
