0
Bangladesh Protest: On Sunday, violence escalated in Bangladesh protests, targeting Hindu houses and temples, resulting in nearly 100 deaths, including Hindu councillor Kajal Roy. The unrest, driven by demands for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation, led to an indefinite curfew starting at 6 pm and a three-day closure of all but essential services. Troops were deployed to restore order, and social media platforms were blocked. The government is committed to ensuring essential services continue during this period, while student leaders plan to intensify demonstrations.
