UN report reveals 1,400 deaths in Bangladesh protests against former government

A UN report states that around 1,400 people died during protests against the former government of Sheikh Hasina in Bangladesh. This figure is significantly higher than the interim government's reported death toll of 834. The UN accused Hasina's government of committing crimes against humanity, including systematic attacks on protesters. The report is based on over 230 interviews and other evidence collected during a fact-finding mission. The protests began over civil service job quotas and escalated into demands for Hasina's resignation. The report highlights that security forces were involved in violent crackdowns, resulting in numerous casualties, including children.
