UK advises its citizen to abstain from political involvement in Nepal

May 20, 2016.
The British government has advised its citizens to not participate in political activities in Nepal.

In a travel advisory issued on Friday, the UK government stated, “If you’re involved in any political activities in Nepal you may be liable to penalties including deportation and/or a fine.”

Stating that disagreements arising from Nepal’s new constitution have led to protests, rallies and strikes throughout Nepal, the advisory said, “Monitor the local media and follow the advice of the local authorities and your tour operator.”

“Protests can occur at short notice and turn violent. Clashes between protesters and police may occur anywhere. Stay away from protest areas,” the advisory said.

The Immigration Department of Nepal has decided to immediately deport any foreign national trying to impeach the social harmony here through their action or words.

A Briton—Martin Travers—was arrested on Monday for partaking in the protest of Madhesi alliance and was handed over to British mission in Kathmandu.
