Violence erupted in Bangladesh on Sunday as clashes between protesters and police resulted in at least 91 deaths and hundreds of injuries. The protests, calling for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign, marked the deadliest day of demonstrations in the country's recent history. The government responded by imposing an indefinite nationwide curfew and a three-day general holiday.
The unrest, which began last month, has led to the shutdown of internet services and is seen as a significant challenge to Hasina's 20-year rule. Critics have accused the government of using excessive force, a claim denied by Hasina and her ministers.
