39 killed in violent Bangladesh protests, state broadcaster office ablazed

Widespread violence gripped Bangladesh after relentless clashes between student protesters, security officials, and pro-government student activists over a quota system for government jobs. At least 39 people died in the violence, with Thursday becoming the most violent day.

Police and protesters armed with sticks and rocks clashed across the country, including in the capital, Dhaka, as the students tried to shut down transportation across Bangladesh.

Hundreds of people were injured as police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to break up groups of protesters, who torched vehicles, police posts, and other establishments.

The student protestors set fire to the state broadcaster’s building a day after the Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, appeared on the network seeking to calm the clashes. Several police posts, vehicles, and other establishments were also torched.
