Nepal has lifted a social media ban after it led to clashes between protesters and police that have left at least 19 people dead.
Thousands of young people had forced their way into the parliament building in the capital Kathmandu on Monday, asking the government to lift its ban on 26 social media platforms, including Facebook, X, and YouTube, and to tackle corruption.
The decision to lift the ban was made after an emergency cabinet meeting late on Monday to "address the demands of Generation Z", Communications and Information Minister Prithvi Subba Gurung said, according to reports.
More than 100 people were injured in the protests, which also took place in towns outside the capital city.
