Bangladesh imposes curfew as more than 100 reported dead
ai generated text
The government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced a nationwide curfew across Bangladesh on Friday, July 19. The decision came after police and security officials fired on protesters earlier that day, resulting in several reported deaths. Additionally, all gatherings were banned in the capital city of Dhaka, and public gatherings were prohibited for the day. Military forces have been deployed to maintain order, and telecommunications services were disrupted with television news channels going off the air.
There must be impartial, prompt and exhaustive investigations into these attacks, and those responsible held to account.
The disruption prevents families from contacting each other and stifles efforts to document human rights violations.
Metrics show connectivity flatlining at 10% of ordinary levels, raising concerns over public safety as little news flows in or out of the country.
