ISLAMABAD: As the ongoing deadly protests in Bangladesh widen, Pakistani students present in the South Asian country have been moved to safety to keep them from harm, a Foreign Office spokesperson said on Saturday.
Student-led protests against the job quota have killed at least 110 people this week, with the government deploying army to quell the deadly events.
For five days police have fired tear gas, rubber bullets and hurled sound grenades to scatter protesters throwing bricks and setting fire to vehicles.
Assuring the safety of Pakistani students present in Dhaka and other cities of Bangladesh, the FO said that they had been shifted to secure locations. The spokesperson said that Pakistan’s mission in Dhaka was in contact with all the Pakistani students and the deputy head of the mission had met some of them present in Chittagong.
