The Streets of Daka: A Nation in Turmoil Under Curfew

On Saturday, the streets of Daka were patrolled by soldiers as the Army imposed a curfew in Bangladesh. The government is attempting to quell student protests that have become increasingly violent and deadly over recent days. Since Thursday, the country has been cut off from the world, with internet and text messaging services shut down. But the demonstrations have continued, in spite of a ban on public gatherings. Hospital data reveals that the clashes have killed over 100 people and injured thousands. As the death toll climbs, the government has taken drastic measures.
