Protesters in Nepal were demonstrating against corruption, nepotism, and a social media ban which they said limited their freedom of speech. But the protests turned violent and officials say 72 people died in the unrest, including three police personnel.
Gen Z groups leading the protests distanced themselves from the destruction, saying they had been "hijacked" by "opportunists".
BBC journalist, Emily Atkinson, explains the #NepoKids movement and we hear from a Gen Z protester for her views on what happened.
