Watch: Riots Continue

At least 105 people have been killed and over 700 injured in ongoing riots in Bangladesh that have persisted for weeks.

Authorities have imposed a curfew on the streets, and the police are using tear gas against protesters. Armored vehicles have been deployed in several areas, and mobile internet services have been suspended.

According to the Bangladeshi police, the riots have led to protesters setting fire to government buildings and public and private properties following violent clashes between students and police. The violence escalated with confrontations between protesters and government-supportive student groups, who threw stones and fought with bamboo sticks, while the police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse them.

Nearly daily demonstrations have erupted demanding the end of the quota system, which allocates more than half of the government jobs to specific groups, including children of the liberation war heroes from the 1971 independence war against Pakistan.

Critics argue that the system benefits government-supportive groups backing Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who won a fourth consecutive term in January after an election with little effective opposition.

Amnesty International condemned the violence and urged Bangladesh to "ensure the safety of all peaceful protesters," while U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller condemned the "violence against peaceful protesters," drawing criticism from the Bangladeshi Foreign Ministry.
