Students back on Bangladesh streets in protest

The Morning Standard

July 30, 2024

BANGLADESHI students held scattered street protests on Monday after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government ignored an ultimatum to release their leaders and apologise for those killed in deadly unrest.

Students back on Bangladesh streets in protest

Student rallies against civil service job quotas this month sparked days of violence that killed at least 205 people including several police officers. The clashes were some of the worst of Hasina's 15-year tenure but her government has since largely restored order by deploying troops, imposing a curfew and shutting down the internet nationwide.

At least half a dozen leaders of Students Against Discrimination, the group that organised the initial protests, are among thousands since taken into police custody.
