Bangladesh arrests more than 10,000 in crackdown on protests
Student protests that began over government-job quotas have led to mass roundups, says families of detainees
Bangladesh has arrested more than 10,000 people and banned a major opposition party as part of a crackdown on dissent after weeks of protests.
The country has been in turmoil since a mass student movement began against quotas for government jobs. It escalated into deadly clashes when protesters were attacked by pro-government groups and hit by police with teargas, rubber bullets and pellets.
