Thousands of Bangladeshi garment workers blocked highways, attacked factories and looted shops in Dhaka on Friday, police said, after rejecting the terms of a government wage hike. Violent protests -- including large-scale looting and arson -- broke out at multiple locations across the capital, forcing factories to close as hundreds of riot police struggled to disperse crowds with baton charges and tear gas, in Dhaka on July 30, 2010.
