Bangladesh PM Cancels Overseas Trips as Deadly Protests Escalate.

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has canceled her planned trips to Spain and Brazil due to escalating protests in the country. The protests, which have resulted in dozens of deaths and a nationwide internet blackout, are in response to the government's job quota policy and high youth unemployment. The government has deployed the army, imposed a curfew, and shut down the internet to quell the protests. Amnesty International has called for an independent investigation into the deaths and criticized the government's heavy-handed crackdown. India has been assisting stranded students from Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan. [Extracted from the article]
