Over 114 killed as mass student protests sweep Bangladesh-Channel 4 News

Bangladesh is under a strict ‘shoot at sight’ curfew this weekend following clashes between police and demonstrators that have left more than a 114 people dead. Internet and mobile services have been blocked since Thursday as the authorities seek to quell the unrest. Protests started a few weeks ago, with students venting their anger about a policy which reserves a third of government jobs for relatives of those who fought for Bangladesh’s independence from Pakistan in 1971.
