At least 90 people have lost their lives and hundreds more have been injured during violent clashes between police and anti-government protesters in Bangladesh. The chaos unfolded on Sunday as tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who has been in power for a long time.
The escalating tensions have prompted student leaders to announce a campaign of civil disobedience in an effort to force Prime Minister Hasina to step down. The death toll includes 13 police officers, highlighting the intensity of the clashes. To prevent further violence, authorities have imposed an indefinite nationwide curfew.
What originally began as a protest against quotas in civil service jobs in July has since evolved into a widespread movement against the government. The unrest has been ongoing for months, with protesters calling for significant political reform.
As the situation in Bangladesh continues to escalate, the international community is closely monitoring the developments. The protests have captured global attention, shedding light on the growing discontent among the citizens of Bangladesh.

#step dawon Hasina #step dawon Hasina # save Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Government officials looted the country's wealth and deposited it abroad. Such high officials should be brought under the law of Bangladesh.
Everyone should remember that the law moves at its own pace and no one is above the law.
They have 2 videos about Bangladesh, but no one about protests in UK. This shit is named as free media?
🚨Urgent🚨
Bangladesh is under internet blackout again. Government has completely shuntdown the internet.
Just before the blackout, We have seen footages of police firing in different parts of the capital.
North South University was also attacked by the police, shots – tear shell -sound grenades were fired.
Global authorities much step into save the people of the country.
It’s about 102 people have been died on 04 August
More than 20 thousands arrested
–>> Is the Earth really overpopulated? Yes, for two main reasons. First, people are rapidly displacing wildlife species across the globe, initiating a mass extinction event. Second, we are degrading ecosystems that provide essential, irreplaceable environmental services that future generations will need to live decent lives.
#Stepdownhasina
Bangladesh 🙏🙏
and once again complete internet shutdown.
The British and the US governments should tell the killer, blood thirsty psychopath, Hasina to step down and stop killing innocent children and people of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 ! Modi, the butcher of India and RAW must be refrained from supporting and helping the beast Hasina in killing our people! Modi must be warned ⚠️
Pra que toda essa violência matando as pessoas crianças idosos pessoas inocentes que pais é esse cadê às autoridades cadê o governo do país parem de matar pessoas Deus abençoe todos os familiares das pessoas mortas 🆗️🚹🇧🇷🙏😮
How about the anti-government protests in British today?
#savebangladeshstudents#internetblackoutbangladesh#
Save Bangladesh. Keep your eyes on Bangladesh.
Hasina doesn't care killing hundred of thousands of people but she wants her power. She's is crazy psychopath who doesn't love the country rather love the power
again internet blackout in Bangladesh
The unelected government attacked the talented students of Bangladesh with their cadre force and shot the talented students in the chest with their own police force. They are killing talented students and common people as they want by shutting down internet connection, so that common people can't communicate and broadcast any videos of their atrocities, they shut down the internet as per pre-planned by their own party cadres of the country. Wasting the national resources and putting the responsibility on the meritorious students and common people, all this is a conspiracy of these unelected illegal ruling party rulers. They have come to power illegally and are doing whatever they want to maintain their power. Like movie scripts, they themselves are now creating scripts and promoting them. Alas, what can they do to stay in power! Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina does not hesitate to do the worst and most despicable thing to keep herself in power. If she had an iota of shame, she would have resigned from the post of Prime Minister.
Is that the Bangladesh government or are they all over here complaining about ours?
How these people can destroy their own country.
The intenet connection shut down again,we can't connect with our beloved students, please help us.
