Sections of the parliament building were also set ablaze by the demonstrators. Tear gas and water cannons failed to disperse the crowds, prompting police to use live ammunition.
What led to the protests: The incident occurred as parliament approved the finance bill, which now moves to a third reading before potentially being sent to the president for signing.
