Background: Sis people were reported killed and at least five hundred injured during a series of demonstrations on November 28 against Bangladesh's military government. The most serious incident occurred in the capital Dhaka, where four people died when police fired on a crowd which had forced its way into a government building compound. In the port of Chittagong two people died in clashes. Armed troops, manning key points in Dhaka, used tear gas and water cannon on stone-throwing crowds. It was the worst outbreak of violence since General Hossain Mohammad Ershad seized power in March last year. The protests could seriously upset his efforts to call presidential and parliamentary elections during the coming months. An indefinite curfew imposed by police and troops was still in force on December 2.
