Bangladesh student leaders arrested 'for their own safety' | DW News

Bangladesh authorities have taken three student leaders into custody - in a move officals say was quote 'for their own safety'. Student protest groups say the leaders were taken away by plainclothes detectives after being forcibly discharged from hospital. The government has blamed student protests against civil service job quotas for days of deadly nationwide unrest. Some 150 people were killed in an army crackdown on the protests earlier this month, which started in universities and colleges.

I'm a student from Bangladesh.

Innocent students, including a 17-year-old boy are being arrested on false charges. Police are checking phones for protest-related content and arresting individuals indiscriminately. They are also raiding homes at midnight, taking away students without explanation.

That sounds like the stupidest reasoning a government can make. "Arrested for safety" what does that even mean

"Own safety" that is the most lame reason to kidnap someone by the government.
