DHAKA: Grieving widow Fatema Begum broke down in tears after being told by hospital staff that her husband had died in the nearly week-long unrest in Bangladesh. She cried again when they refused to hand over her body. Islam is the majority religion in the South Asian country, where 155 people have died since Tuesday in clashes between student protesters and police over controversial civil service recruitment rules. The customs of the faith dictate that anyone who dies must be cremated immediately.
