At least three people have died in clashes between police and protesters in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka.
A further 60 are reported injured, after up to half a million supporters of Islamist group Hefazat-e Islam took to the streets of the city calling for the hanging of aetheists and other insulters of Islam.
Rioters set fire to shops and vehicles, and police used tear gas, rubber bullets and stun grenades to drive thousands of protesters out of the city's main business district.
