Bangladesh curfew eases: What’s opened, what’s still shut

Some businesses have reopened, but mobile internet and social media sites are still blocked. Universities remain shut.

Bangladesh has started to relax a curfew that it imposed after days of deadly clashes between student protesters demanding reforms to a job quota system and a combination of law enforcement officials and members and supporters of the governing party’s youth wing.

Deaths, arrests, and shoot-at-sight orders against those violating the curfew had left the nation of 170 million people gripped in tension, while a telecommunications blackout had cut Bangladesh off from the rest of the world.
