Bangladesh is experiencing escalating clashes between police and anti-government demonstrators, with at least 59 lives lost. Sparked by student leaders, the unrest demands the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The situation worsened when a police station was attacked, resulting in the deaths of thirteen officers. Tear gas and rubber bullets have been employed by authorities, and a nighttime curfew has been enforced. Mobile internet services have been suspended in the capital, Dhaka. As tensions rise, the government faces the challenge of addressing demands while ensuring citizen safety. Students Against Discrimination has called for widespread disobedience, urging citizens to halt payments and shut down factories and public transport.
