Worldwide Gas Outrage

Protesting students throw stones at a police vehicle near Trichandra Campus in Kathmandu June 10, 2008. Student activists burnt tires on roads on Tuesday, blocking traffic during the protest. Nepal had announced sharp increases of about a quarter in fuel prices on Monday to stem losses by the state-run oil firm Nepal Oil Corporation and to help overcome a domestic oil shortage.
