Bangladesh anti-government protests see at least 90 people killed | BBC News


At least 90 people have been killed and hundreds more injured in clashes between police and tens of thousands of anti-government protesters in Bangladesh on Sunday.

The unrest comes as student leaders have declared a campaign of civil disobedience to demand that the nation’s long-serving leader Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina step aside.

The death toll includes at least 13 police officers, and an indefinite nationwide curfew has been put in place to curb further violence.

The student protest – which has been ongoing since July – started with calls to abolish quotas in civil service jobs, but has since transformed into a much wider anti-government movement.
