1:29:03Now PlayingProtests in Bangladesh began in universities and colleges last month, and flared into nationwide protests that resulted in more than a 150 killed, and thousands injured as security forces cracked down. They led to curfew, army patrols on the streets and internet suspension to rein in the violence. Bangladesh's government under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has since restored internet access.
Rights groups and critics say Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has grown more autocratic during 15 years in power, marked by mass arrests of political opponents and activists, forced disappearances and extrajudicial killings — charges she denies.
Protests led by students broke out in June when a high court ordered the restoration of quotas in government jobs, including reservations for families of veterans of the 1971 war for independence from Pakistan.
