Dozens dead in violent clashes in Bangladesh | DW News

Protesters in Bangladesh have stormed and set fire to the headquarters of the main state broadcaster. Bangladesh Television says many people are trapped inside its offices in the capital Dhaka. Student protests over the last month have seen dozens of people killed in violent clashes. Authorities cut some mobile internet services to try to quell the unrest.

The nationwide agitation, the biggest since Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was reelected earlier this year, is fuelled by high youth unemployment. Nearly a fifth of the country's 170 million population is out of work or education.
