Tens of thousands of students and their supporters have gathered in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. They blame the government for a violent crackdown on protests against government job quotas. More than 200 people were killed.
Under the leadership of the long-serving prime minister, poor, predominantly Muslim Bangladeshis experienced an economic upswing. Recently, however, high inflation has made life difficult for people. The country has a population of more than 170 million and high unemployment. Human rights organizations accuse Hasina of targeting her opponents and critics and of arresting thousands of them. Freedom of opinion and freedom of the press have also suffered under her government.
