Protests in Bangladesh
News summary

Violent clashes in Bangladesh on Sunday resulted in at least 10 deaths and hundreds of injuries as student protesters demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina amid ongoing unrest related to government job quotas. The protests, which have escalated since July, saw confrontations between demonstrators, police, and members of the ruling Awami League party, leading to widespread vandalism and arson, particularly in districts such as Sirajganj, Pabna, and Munshiganj. Authorities responded with tear gas and stun grenades, and the government implemented internet blackouts and curfews in an effort to control the situation. Protests began as a call to end a job quota system that favored veterans' relatives but have since broadened to include demands for the government's resignation. With schools and universities closed, and thousands arrested, the violence has drawn significant attention from human rights groups and critics of the administration. The clashes represent the most serious challenge to Hasina's government since the contentious January elections, which were boycotted by the main opposition party.
