The ongoing protests in Nepal, triggered by a ban on social media, have resulted in a major security breach. Over 1,500 prisoners are reported to have escaped from several jails within the country. The mass escape occurred at approximately 7 p.m. according to officer Heramba Sharma, when more than 500 protesters arrived at the prison. The prisoners, who had only kitchen tools, overcame the police, as the protesters had crowbars. The police were unable to stop the prisoners. This is a developing story, and further information will be released.
