Today, protesters attacked Narsingdi District Jail and occupied it. At least a few hundred inmates reportedly left the prison after it went out of the control of the prison guards.

Here is Dhaka University Law Professor Asif Nazrul talking to reporters on two occasions along with other professors declaring how illegal the regime is and their actions are. The statements are in Bengali - sorry. Dhaka as a city is essentially shutdown and no transports are running. Ditto with nineteen other large towns and cities.

In the first video Asif demanded the resignation of the home minister. He also rejected the "Razakar" tag assigned to the protesters by Sheikh Hasina.

Hi everyone, back after a long time. Got updates and wanted to share -

Got a call from a friend who is active in the protest. Here are the details -

More than 200+ killed and counting.

The govt is creating confusion by shutting down internet and then implementing curfew restricting internal movement.

Then they arrested the top leaders of the student protest. (source)

After that they staged a drama by getting 3 students (one of them is a Chatra league member) and arranged a meet with 3 BAL ministers, saying the students have agreed to sit down for negotiation based on 8 point demand. The govt did a press conference on this and this is available in BBC Bangla (Source). BUT, the reality is that this is all staged. The general students have not made any demand nor agreed to sit down with the govt. The protest is to continue and this is no longer about quota, it is about getting Hasina to step down.
