Protest leaders in Madagascar are threatening to continue their demonstration today.
Yesterday, anti-government demonstrators and security forces clashed in the centre of the capital, Antananarivo.
Violence broke out as crowds marched towards a courthouse protesting the shutting down of Radio Mada and Radio Fahazavana.
Security forces used tear gas to break up the crowds, then opened fire.
Two people died and 13 were wounded as clashes continued into the night, but it was not clear whether the deaths were caused by the gunfire.
The protesters support the exiled president, Marc Ravalomanana, who was forced from power in March by his rival, Andry Rajoelina.
