Yesterday also academics and even musicians were demonstrating against Gyanendra in
Kathmandu. At least 250 of them were arrested, according to CNN.

Many protesters said that the coming days will bring the "end of the monarchy".

Meanwhile the government imposed another 18-hours curfew in Kathmandu for today to
stop the planned mass demonstrations. The(SPA) organizers are expacting at least
100,000 protesters today in the Nepalese capital.

Finally CNN, actually not a real progessive TV station..^^, is describing the current
situation in Nepal as a "revolutionary situation", and thus, of course, very dangerously... just for the international tuling class.
