Protests in Gwadar

Protests have erupted in multiple regions of Bangladesh and Pakistan, highlighting escalating tensions over various political and social issues. In Bangladesh, students organized rallies across several cities, including Dhaka and Sylhet, demanding justice for those affected by the quota reform movement, leading to clashes with police, detentions, and the use of tear gas. Meanwhile, in Pakistan's Gwadar city, protests organized by the Balochistan Yakjehti Committee resulted in deadly confrontations with security forces, where at least three people were killed and many injured during a sit-in advocating for Baloch rights and resource protection. Clashes in Balochistan led to significant disruption, with roadblocks and a shutter-down strike observed across the region. Amnesty International has called for the lifting of internet shutdowns and road blockades to allow for peaceful demonstrations. The situation remains tense as both movements continue to draw attention to their respective causes.
