The United States and Canada have issued travel advisories for Bangladesh due to ongoing civil unrest and deadly protests.
The US State Department has escalated its travel advisory to a 'Do Not Travel' level, citing a 'shoot-on-sight' curfew imposed by police and military patrols in the capital. The unrest stems from controversial job quota protests, which have resulted in significant violence, including attacks on student protesters. Canadian officials have expressed deep concern over the violence and the loss of life.
The situation has also affected nearly 1,000 Indian students, prompting their return to India for safety.

It's heartbreaking to see the people of Bangladesh facing such violence and oppression, especially the students who are courageously standing up for their rights. The international community, including the US and Canada, must do more than issue travel advisaries; they should be actively working towards supporting human rights and democratic processes in Bangladesh.
Seems like governments should focus more on protecting individual freedoms rather than imposing curfews that escalate violence.
