Quick Glance: Protesters Storm Prison in Bangladesh, Death Toll Surpasses 100 from Anti-Quota Clashes
- Student protesters in Bangladesh stormed a prison, freeing possibly hundreds of inmates and held rallies in Dhaka despite police bans and an internet shutdown. The death toll from unrest this week exceeded 100 as protests against a quota system for state jobs continued.
- This week's clashes claimed at least 105 lives, posing a significant challenge to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's autocratic government after her 15-year tenure.
- Student protesters raided a jail in Narsingdi, freed inmates, and set the facility ablaze. Police prohibited public gatherings in Dhaka to prevent further violence.
- In defiance of an internet blackout and bans on gatherings, protests against the quota system persisted, demanding Sheikh Hasina's immediate resignation and blaming the government for the killings.
