Bangladesh workers riot over pay

At least two people have been killed and scores injured in clashes between textile workers and police in Bangladesh, police have said. The violence broke out as workers protested over unpaid salaries in the outskirts of the capital, Dhaka, on Saturday. "Law-enforcers had to fire rubber bullets from shot guns to disperse the workers who hurled stones and bricks at our officers," Shafiqul Alam, a police inspector, said. "So far two people have died." Workers coming to work at the Nippon Garments factory north of Dhaka found a notice at the gate saying authorities were closing the factory for a month, citing losses and falling orders.
