Student protests in Bangladesh
News summary

Protests in Bangladesh, initially sparked by dissatisfaction with a government job quota system, escalated into a widespread uprising that forced Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign and flee the country, resulting in nearly 300 deaths. The protests, primarily led by students, turned violent on July 15 as clashes broke out with security forces and pro-government groups. Following Hasina's departure, Professor Mohammed Yunus has been named interim leader, while the parliament has been dissolved to facilitate new elections. The unrest has raised concerns for neighboring countries like India and Japan, which have significant investments and historical ties to Bangladesh. Cultural organizations have held events to honor the protesters and demand justice for those killed, emphasizing the need to prevent the rise of authoritarian governance. Resistance art has also emerged as a significant form of expression during these protests, highlighting the movement's broader anti-government sentiments.
