A wave of vi0lence has swept across Bangladesh, leaving at least 90 people d3ad and hundreds injur3d, as tens of thousands of protesters clashed with police on Sunday.
The unrest is part of a growing movement demanding the resignation of long-serving Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Student leaders have spearheaded the protests, which began in July with calls to abolish job quotas but have since expanded into a broader anti-government campaign.
In a bid to quell the unrest, authorities have imposed an indefinite nationwide curfew and cut off internet services ahead of a planned “Long March to Dhaka” protest.
The de3th toll includes 13 police officers, and the total number of fatalities since the protests began has risen to at least 280.

The international community has condemned the violence, with the UN calling for restraint and an end to the “shocking vi0lence”.
Meanwhile, internet service providers have reported a complete shutdown of services, citing orders from the government, although officials from the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission claim they have no knowledge of the blackout.
