In Bangladesh, massive student protests have brought the capital Dhaka to a standstill, as students demand safer roads. The protests began after a speeding private bus ran over a group of students, killing two teenagers on July 29. Since then, massive youth-led demonstrations have swept the country, which has one of the highest rates of road accidents in the world. The Bangladeshi government has responded by violently cracking down on the student protesters and arresting journalists reporting on the protests. This is one of the protesting students, Nazmul Houssain.

Nazmul Houssain: “We’ve been protesting on the roads for a few days with some of our demands. We’re demanding justice for those students of the Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College killed by a bus, and we want safe roads.”
