Protesters demand the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Observers see the beginning of the end for their party - especially if the army withdraws its loyalty. Over 300 people have already been killed in the ongoing protests.
At least 90 people were killed during intensifying anti-government protests, which have now called for the resignation of long-term Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed.
