Student protests in Bangladesh have surged dramatically, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. On Sunday, thousands of students clashed with police in Dhaka, leading to the deaths of at least 98 people. Protesters attacked homes of government officials and ruling Awami League members, vandalizing properties and setting fires at various locations, including police stations and party offices. The government has imposed a curfew and suspended internet services to control the unrest. Prime Minister Hasina has condemned the violence, branding the rioters as terrorists rather than students.
