Bangladesh Protests: Government Response and Calls for Accountability
The recent student protests in Bangladesh, initially sparked by demands to reform the quota system for government jobs, have escalated into a mass movement against the government. The government has been criticized for its violent crackdown on protesters, with reports of unlawful killings, enforced disappearances, and torture.
UN officials have called for an investigation into the crackdown, while human rights groups have urged the government to hold those responsible accountable. The government, however, has tried to shift the narrative by blaming opposition parties for the unrest.
Protesters have issued a set of demands, including an apology from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the resignation of key aides. The situation remains tense, with thousands arrested and the death toll rising.
The international community has expressed concern over the government's response to the protests.
