    They have disconnected internet system even the broadband network, so that no one can get the actual situation from Bangladesh. But we are sure the government is destroying our beloved country. It is crime to disconnect the immigrants from their family for more than 40 hours. 😢

    Please save Bangladesh🇧🇩. Pray for our students and people 🙏Govt and their party,,Chatra leauge and police are killing our innocent students protesting for their rights. The students have been protesting since the beginning of July, demanding an end to a quota system for government jobs that allocates 56% to applicants from special categories and the remaining 44% to general applicants. That, students say, discriminates against most applicants with the required qualifications. There is no internet last tow days (currently i'm outside of Bangladesh )and some areas have no electricity. They are helpless. Autocratic leader Sheikh Hasina does not want the world to know what is really happening there. We need international support. Public curfew issued, decision to deploy army 🙂 160+ deaths so far from official data (source: various agencies, police) On Saturday 15+students die (official)but unofficially 30+ maybe. on Friday 56 deaths reported so far. Important information found. Total 100+people. - human being Others bodies were brought to Dhaka overnight. - BCC The next day is the last day of the week, the 32nd. 6 people died on Tuesday. Note: Official information only (Hospital, Police) Officially 160+people. Unofficial total death tollal 300

    Hey, Ms. Kumari. Appreciate that you shared the news of Bangladesh. However, you mentioned a wrong information: the students are demanding to reform the total 56% of quotas (NOT only 30% that are allocated to freedom fighters grandchildren).
