Demonstrators in Bangladesh escalate protests, calling for resignation of PM Hasina

Demonstrations in Bangladesh have taken a deadly turn as protesters intensify their calls for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign. The protests, which have been ongoing for weeks, have resulted in a mounting death toll with at least 91 people losing their lives. Among the casualties are 13 police officers who have been killed in clashes with the demonstrators.

The unrest in Bangladesh shows no signs of slowing down as an increasing number of people take to the streets to demand political change. Protesters have accused Prime Minister Hasina of corruption and authoritarianism, calling for her immediate resignation.

The situation in Bangladesh has escalated to a dangerous level, with violence erupting between law enforcement and demonstrators. The government has responded by imposing curfews and deploying security forces to quell the unrest, but the protests show no signs of abating.

As the death toll continues to rise, the international community has called for calm and peaceful dialogue to resolve the crisis. The future of Bangladesh hangs in the balance as the country grapples with a deepening political crisis and a growing sense of uncertainty.
