Nepal bans rallies in Kathmandu

Just two days before Nepal's newly-elected assembly is expected to meet to declare the country a republic and throw King out of his Palace, Nepal has banned rallies in capital Kathmandu to stop widespread violence.
Authorities in the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu, have banned rallies and mass meetings in strategic areas.
The prohibition comes into force two days before Nepal's newly-elected assembly is expected to meet to declare the country a republic.
Venues covered by the ban include the palace of King Gyanendra, the hall where the assembly will sit, and the residence of the prime minister.
The aim is to frustrate protests planned before the vote.
