Bangladesh Protests Result in Deaths and Curfew
News summary

Fresh clashes erupted in Bangladesh on Sunday, resulting in nearly 100 deaths and hundreds of injuries as protesters demanded Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation over a controversial job quota system. The government imposed an indefinite nationwide curfew, shut down mobile internet and social media platforms, and declared a three-day general holiday to control the situation. Protests initially led by students have escalated, with accusations of excessive force by the government. Over 11,000 people have been arrested in recent weeks, and the unrest has spread nationwide, affecting major cities including Dhaka. The ruling Awami League claims that the protests have been infiltrated by opposition groups, while Hasina labels the protesters as criminals rather than students. The situation represents the most significant challenge to Hasina's authority in her 15-year tenure.
