Protests erupt in Bangladesh over girl's murder

Protests have erupted in Bangladesh following the death of an eight-year-old girl who was allegedly raped by a family member. The girl died after a week in the hospital, leading to widespread demonstrations, particularly among students and women. Police have arrested several family members of the suspect, including the sister's father-in-law, who reportedly confessed to the crime. The protests have intensified calls for better laws to protect women and children, as well as faster justice in such cases. In response to the public outcry, the government announced plans to amend laws related to sexual abuse, aiming to reduce investigation and trial times.
