Bangladesh student protests: Curfew imposed in Dhaka amid deadly demonstrations over job quotas

In response to violent student-led protests, Bangladeshi soldiers enforced a curfew in the capital city of Dhaka. At least 105 people have died in the demonstrations against government job quotas. Internet and text message services have been suspended since Thursday, isolating Bangladesh from the rest of the world.

Tapan Chandra, an Indian citizen returning from Bangladesh, described the situation as horrific, and said, "Jails, factories and vehicles have been put on fire. Prisoners were burned to death. Roads were also destroyed. Buses, many other vehicles, and houses have also been destroyed and torched by the protests. There is nothing left."

Over the past five days, clashes between protesters and security personnel have escalated, with police firing tear gas and hurling sound grenades to disperse demonstrators, who have responded by throwing bricks and setting vehicles on fire.

When i saw Bangladesh student protests i thought this was Canadian news. Then i saw the military wasn't delivering Tim Hortons and knew it was obviously not in Canada

[DragonNectar]

Look at all the new Canadians in the comments.

1:06 wrong translation. He said prisoners were freed not burnt alive. That’s some horrible misinformation. Please fix it

[sdemockinterview]

whats the soruce of this video footage ? The first interviewer is not Bangladshi (anyone can tell it just by the language). Also the translation is misleading in few places like 1:06. Not sure if It is done intentionally, but we expect better than this from Global News.

[sakifalam]

The translation at 1:07 is wrong.

The gentleman didn’t say that prisoners were burned to death.

Rather, he said that prisoners were set free.

36 students of our country's university are killing members and burying them as orphans. The condition of our country is very bad. We can't be bullied by shutting down our internet, picking up students from house to house. Calling international resources to stand by us. Please take action against this tyrant.
