Dhaka: On Saturday ( Jul 20 ), Bangladesh soldiers patrolled the deserted streets of the city of Dhaka in response to deadly student-led protests against government job quotas, which have resulted in more than 100 fatalities this week.
Bangladesh has been isolated from the rest of the world as officers repress protests that have continued despite a ban on people groups, as a result of a suspension on the internet and text messaging services that have been in place since Thursday.
According to statistics from facilities across Bangladesh, at least 105 people have been killed and dozens of others have been injured this week. On Friday, between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., 27 lifeless bodies were brought to the Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Initial causes of the global unrest were student protests against new restrictions for state jobs, including 30 % for the families of those who fought for Pakistan’s freedom.
That decision has sown a long and contentious social conflict between those who fought for Bangladesh’s independence from Pakistan in 1971 and those who are accused of working with Islamabad.
During the global upheaval, demonstrators clashed with security personnel, threw bricks, and set fire to vehicles with tear gas and sound grenades in the past five days.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s state on Friday imposed a nationwide curfew and deployed the military as the death toll rises and the police are unable to contain the harsh protests.
According to TV channels, the punishment will end for two hours starting at noon on Saturday, so people can buy supplies and finish various chores.
The government will assess the situation and determine the future course of action after 10am on Sunday, according to the information.
The demonstrations, which have been the largest since Hasina was elected for a third consecutive term this month, have also been fueled by higher unemployment among young individuals, who make up nearly a fifth of the people of 170 million.
International human rights organizations have criticized the security forces ‘ actions and expulsion of the computer. The European Union expressed its deep concern over the deaths and acts of violence.
