Police and protesters have been killed – as the death toll in Bangladesh rises.

At least 91 people have died – including 13 police officers – as demonstrators called on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to step down. (She has since fled the country.) They’re demanding accountability after over 200 people died last month during protests against government job quotas.

Al Jazeera’s Tanvir Chowdhury reports from Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman, an exiled human rights activist in Athens, Ohio, discusses the latest developments.
