AI Summary:
Gyanendra Shah was crowned in 2001 after his elder brother and his family were killed in a mass murder that wiped out most of the royal family. He ruled as the constitutional head of state without executive or political powers until 2005, when he seized absolute power. The king disbanded the government and parliament, jailed politicians and journalists and cut off communications, declaring a state of emergency and using the army to rule the country. Rally participants said they were hoping for a change in the political system to stop the country from further deteriorating. “We are here to give the king our full support and to rally behind him all the way to reinstating him in the royal throne,” Thir Bahadur Bhandari, 72, told The Associated Press.
