Road safety

Last month, high school and university students in Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital, protested for days for better road safety conditions. The student movement, which lasted for two weeks and turned into a movement against the government’s alleged poor governance and corruption, was sparked by the death of two teenagers, killed by a racing bus at the end of July. After a few days, the police started using force against protesters and journalists. Over 7,000 people died in traffic accidents in Bangladesh last year.
