Nepal has been rocked by widespread protests, defying a curfew, a day after a deadly crackdown that left at least 19 people dead. The demonstrations initially demanded the lifting of a social media ban and an end to corruption, and persisted even after the apps were brought back online.

• At least 19 people were killed in the crackdown, with 17 in Kathmandu and 2 in Sunsari.
• Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has ordered a probe into the violence and will head all-party talks.
• The protests were fueled by existing anger among the youth, with unemployment hovering around 10 percent and GDP per capita at just $1,447.
