Death toll in Bangladesh anti-government protests rises to at least 300
![]() 2785 Monday, 05 August, 2024, 11:00 The overall death toll from clashes in Bangladesh has risen to at least 300 people, after 94 died Sunday in the deadliest day in weeks of anti-government demonstrations, according to an AFP tally. The tally is based on reports from police, officials and doctors at hospitals. Protests are set to resume on Monday, with heavy deployments of soldiers and police in the capital Dhaka patrolling key roads and barricading routes to the prime minister's office. Hundreds of thousands of Bangladeshi protesters demanding Hasina resign clashed with government supporters Sunday in one of the deadliest days since demonstrations began in July. Rallies that began last month against civil service job quotas have escalated into some of the worst unrest of Hasina's 15-year rule and shifted into wider calls for the 76-year-old to step down. |
