Pakistani students in Bangladesh safe amid deadly quota protests

Pakistani authorities are carefully monitoring the security situation in the Asian country, and students in the country have been relocated to secure locations to ensure their safety.

Pakistani mission in Bangladesh are in constant contact with students, and the deputy head of the mission personally met with some of them. The spokesperson confirmed that the students are secure and have been accommodated at safe locations including the high commission building, the ambassador’s residence, and other protected sites.

Bangladesh imposed curfew to control violent student-led protests against government job quotas, which resulted in over 100 deaths while thousands are injured.

Armed forces and anti-riots members are patrolling Dhaka amid near-total internet blackout. The protests, sparked by a High Court ruling reinstating a job quota, have been fueled by economic hardships and high unemployment.

Amid the tense situation, Bangladesh Supreme Court temporarily halted the quota reinstatement.
