Gen Z protesters have set fire to Nepal’s parliament and the prime minister’s house, forcing his resignation, amid a deadly crackdown on dissent sparked by a social media ban.

Protesters set fire to homes of some of Nepal's top political leaders in opposition to a social media ban that was lifted early Tuesday a day after deadly anti-government protests.Local reports and videos shared on social media showed protesters attacking residences of the top political leaders in and around Kathmandu.

Protesters demonstrating against Nepal's ban on many popular social media platforms clashed with police outside the parliament, reportedly leaving at least 14 people dead.
