Bangladesh Faces Unprecedented Student Protests: Over 115 Dead Amid Nationwide Unrest

The situation in Bangladesh has escalated dramatically as student protests against the reintroduction of an old quota system have turned violent. With at least 115 fatalities reported, the government has imposed a nationwide curfew and deployed military troops to restore order. The protests, which began in July, reflect widespread discontent over high unemployment and inflation, with demonstrators demanding a performance-based hiring system in the public sector. As tensions rise, the government has also restricted internet access, making it difficult for citizens to communicate and share information about the ongoing unrest.
