The student movement in Bangladesh has ignited once again.

In recent days, students have protested in various places across the country, demanding the release of those detained. They faced resistance from law enforcement agencies, raising concerns of widespread violence erupting again across the country. The BBC report further mentioned that in the northeastern city of Sylhet, there were clashes between students and the police. A police official reported that they were forced to use tear gas to disperse the students. Additionally, there were significant clashes between students and police in the capital, Dhaka, and other districts on Wednesday. Throughout July, Bangladesh was rocked by student protests demanding quota reforms. During that time, clashes with law enforcement resulted in the deaths of over two hundred students. It is also reported that around 10,000 students and ordinary people have been arrested.

The renewed protests in Bangladesh are primarily driven by demands for the trial of those involved in the killings and the release of the detained students. Several students were reported to have been arrested on the last day of July. According to photos sent by a BBC correspondent from Barisal, police clashed with protesting students in the southern city of Barisal, using batons on the students. Several arrests were made, including many female students. On Wednesday, students held protests in various places as part of their "March for Justice" program. The students stated that they have issued new programs against killings, arrests, and assaults and are protesting accordingly.

Since the beginning of July, students have been protesting for quota reforms in government jobs. Subsequently, law enforcement agencies cracked down on the students, leading to the deaths of several students and widespread clashes. On July 21, the Supreme Court ruled to reserve 5% of the quota. However, students have announced their intention to continue their protests in response to the killings and mass arrests. The BBC report also mentioned that the students demanded the resignation of several ministers.

The government has blamed the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Jamaat-e-Islami for the violent situation in the country. On the other hand, the European Union has criticized the government's repression and suspended its cooperation agreement with Bangladesh. On Tuesday, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, condemned the excessive use of force against protesters and called for the prosecution of the accused. The suspended cooperation agreement aimed to strengthen the economic relationship between the EU, Bangladesh's primary trading partner, and Bangladesh.
