Bangladeshi authorities lift curfew
Authorities today lifted a curfew imposed five days ago on six major cities in Bangladesh in the wake of violent anti-government protests that left at least one dead, the government said.
The country's military-back interim government slapped the night-time curfew last Wednesday after student protests against emergency rule spilled over into street clashes, leaving at least 100 wounded. There have been no new demonstrations since the curfew was imposed.
