Protesters in Bangladesh set fire to several government buildings during a day of deadly nationwide clashes between students and riot officers on July 18. Bangladeshi students set fire to state broadcaster BTV’s* headquarters as protests against civil service hiring rules escalated. Violence worsened despite the Bangladeshi PM’s appeal for calm and police attempting to break up the demonstrations. According to AFP, at least 32 people were killed on July 18 in addition to seven killed earlier in the week. However, Amnesty International said video evidence from clashes this week showed that Bangladeshi security forces had used unlawful force. Watch the video to find out more.
