Bangladesh Protests Intensify with 100 Deaths, Curfew Imposed as Students Demand PM's Resignation
Aug 4, 2024, 03:38 PM
Protests in Bangladesh have intensified, leading to widespread violence and a significant death toll. Student leaders have called for a nationwide civil disobedience campaign against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government, which has faced severe backlash following a deadly police crackdown on demonstrators. The protests, initially sparked by opposition to a controversial quota system for government jobs, have expanded into a broader movement demanding justice for the over 200 people killed in previous demonstrations. The government has responded with strict measures, including imposing a nationwide curfew, an internet blackout, and deploying security forces. Despite these actions, the unrest continues, with fresh clashes resulting in at least 100 deaths and numerous injuries. Reports indicate that 75 people were killed in a single day, and the overall death toll may have reached 300. The situation remains volatile as protesters demand the resignation of Prime Minister Hasina, with reports of the army standing 'by the people' and refusing to use live ammunition against demonstrators.
