Bangladesh protesters demand PM Hasina’s resignation as death toll mounts

Protests in Bangladesh have taken a violent turn as demonstrators call for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s resignation. At least 91 people were killed and hundreds injured in clashes on Sunday (Aug 4), as police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse thousands of protesters. Michael Kugelman from the South Asia Institute at the Wilson Center tells CNA's Asia First why the next few days are critical for protesters and the government.

I am a helpless freedom fighter from Bangladesh. I am young. Hasina is committing genocide in Bangladesh. 98% people want resignation of Sheikh Hasina's dictatorial government, but Sheikh Hasina's police, Jubo League and Chhatra League are shooting at the protesters. I request you to disarm the international media of BangladeshBe with the people, in the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government, call on the world leaders to be with the common people of Bangladesh, show this situation of Bangladesh to the world, thank you

Your journalism is wrong. You didn't say why it started. It was peaceful then lots of students were killed by police, Rab, BGP. Even many children and civilains died without any reason.
