More than 260 garment factories in Bangladesh have declared a day off due to protests by factory workers in the capital Dhaka who have been protesting since Tuesday. The protesters demand to raise the minimum wage to at least 30,000 taka (about $240) and stop the layoffs. Demonstrators block roads and carry out a sit-in right on the road, throwing stones and bricks at the police. To disperse the crowd, the police had to use tear gas. Two protesters were arrested. The world is burning, and we are in Zen.
