YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) - A group of YSU students, many from Nepal, gathered around the fountain on campus Tuesday night to mourn those killed in the protests in the country this week.

Nepal's government briefly banned social media. Though the ban was reversed, Nepalese youth say they are also protesting corruption in the country, leading demonstrations at the capital in Kathmandu.

Demonstrations led by young people angry about the blocking of several social media sites gripped the capital, and police opened fire on the crowds, killing 19 people.

The ban was lifted Tuesday, but the protests continued, fueled by rage over the deaths and accusations of political corruption in the nation wedged between China and India.

The ordeal prompted the resignation of the country's prime minister.
