Thousands of students armed with sticks and rocks have been clashing with armed police in the Bangladesh capital, Dhaka, and across the country. The protests began with a demand to update a quota system for government jobs. Now, it has expanded to a demand for a stop to government repression. Host Carolyn Beeler speaks with Samina Luthfa, associate professor of sociology at the University of Dhaka about the protests and the lethal response by authorities.
