Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said curfew would be lifted when the situation improved.
DHAKA - Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said a curfew imposed last week following days of clashes between protesters and security forces would be lifted when the situation improved. Days of student-led protests that turned deadly prompted the government to shut down internet services, impose a curfew and deploy the army. A top court on Sunday agreed to scrap many of the proposed quotas after at least 147 people were confirmed dead in the violence.
Hasina, 76, won a fourth-straight term in power in January in a national election boycotted by the main opposition party. The parties did not immediately respond to requests for comment but critics, including the BNP, have previously accused Hasina of authoritarianism, human rights violations and crackdowns on free speech and dissent - charges her government denies.
Thousands were injured in protests that turned violent last week, as security forces fired tear gas, rubber bullets and sound grenades to scatter the demonstrators. “We are giving an ultimatum to the government to fulfil our eight-point demand within 48 hours,” one of the Movement’s leaders, Hasnat Abdullah, told reporters.
