Bangladesh Imposes Nationwide Curfew with 'Shoot-on-Sight' Orders Amid Deadly Protests
Jul 20, 2024, 11:20 AM
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government has imposed a nationwide curfew and deployed military forces across Bangladesh to maintain order following days of deadly clashes over the allocation of government jobs. The unrest, initially sparked by student protests against a quota system favoring children of top officials, escalated into wider anti-government demonstrations. Authorities have issued 'shoot-on-sight' orders to enforce the curfew. The clashes have resulted in dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries as riot police and military forces confront protesters defying the curfew. The curfew was announced on Friday, with significant enforcement in Dhaka.
