The protesting students in Dhaka demanded ‘accurate’ publication of identities of the dead and injured, and compensation for the affected families
Protests erupted in Bangladesh's capital a day after a Chinese-made F-7 jet crashed into a school, killing over 30 people, mostly children.
Hundreds of students clashed with security forces in Dhaka on Tuesday as they attempted to storm the Bangladesh Secretariat, the country’s main government administrative complex, according to private broadcaster Jamuna TV. Live footage showed protesters hurling bricks at police and army personnel, who responded with tear gas and batons to disperse the crowd.
The protests, which brought parts of southern Dhaka to a standstill, saw students demanding the release of the names of the deceased and injured, according to the Dhaka Tribune. They also called for compensation for the families of those killed and the introduction of newer, safer aircraft by the Air Force, the newspaper added.
