Bangladesh Moves to Quell Unrest

Dhaka and other cities have been under curfew. The military backed authorities in Bangladesh have detained five senior academics after anti-government rioting on campuses across the country. They have also been raiding buildings across the capital, detaining students on suspicion of involvement in three days of rioting earlier this week. A curfew imposed in Dhaka and five other cities was lifted for most of Friday but is now back in force. One man has died in the protests, which are over continuing emergency rule.
