STORYLINE:
More protests were taking place in Bangladesh on Friday against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her government to demand justice for more than 200 people killed in last month's violent demonstrations despite reforms announced in the job quota system which prompted weeks of protests.


Authorities shut off the internet and enforced a shoot-on-sight curfew to tackle violent demonstrations.
