Protests erupt in Bangladesh as students call for justice

Hundreds of students take to the streets of Bangladesh's capital Dhaka to demand justice for their fellow students who have been killed in recent protests over quotas in government jobs.

At least 206 people were killed last month during some of the worst unrest of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's tenure, sparked by student demonstrations against civil service hiring rules.
