<h1>Parliament and president's office barricaded as youth organize memorial protests for anti-tax demonstrations anniversary</h1> Parliament and the president's office in the capital were barricaded with heavy police presence ahead of planned anniversary protests commemorating anti-tax demonstrations where 60 people died and 20 remain missing. Youth organized memorial protests via social media despite government statements calling it a normal working day. Businesses closed and police restricted movement while deploying tear gas against crowds chanting anti-government slogans. During the previous year's protests, demonstrators stormed Parliament and burned parts of the building. Current grievances include corruption, rising living costs, police brutality, and a recent blogger's death in custody, with authorities maintaining protective zones around government buildings.
