“Prime Minister Sheik Hasina’s government has stamped out dissent, arresting opposition leaders and using violence against peaceful protesters”. This is a quote from an article titled, “What’s Behind Bangladesh’s Protests?”, within this article it describes the economic fallout from events such as Covid-19 and how the citizens are fed up with the Awami League’s rule over the government. These citizens are displeased with the actions in which the government has taken to quite the protest, on several occasions resorting to violence to quell the protest. These protests call for the stabilization of the economy and for the government to abolish authoritative policies such as the Digital Security Act that limits the freedom of speech. With the government and the Awami League ignoring these protests and labeling the protesters as “provocateurs”, it is an on going crisis within Bangladesh for the citizens to gain basic freedoms and economic stability on a national level.
