Violence Erupts in Bangladesh Protests

News summary

Violent clashes erupted across Bangladesh as protesters demand the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, leading to at least 30 deaths and hundreds of injuries. The government has imposed an indefinite curfew from 6 p.m. local time and suspended mobile internet services nationwide. The unrest initially stemmed from opposition to a controversial quota system for public sector jobs but has since evolved into a broader anti-government movement. Sheikh Hasina's administration has been accused of using excessive force to suppress the protests, which the government denies. Protesters, organized under the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, have called for non-cooperation, urging citizens to withhold taxes and utility payments. The situation remains tense, with large-scale violence reported in multiple districts and the capital, Dhaka, turning into a battleground.
