1971 Bangladesh atrocities
Khan and Mujibur met with each other to talk to try to solve the problems and stop the riots.  It looked like they had made an agreement.  But on March 25, 1971, Mujibur was arrested.  Then, thousands of West Pakistani soldiers, 60,000 to 80,000 of them, began killing East Pakistanis. Bangladesh declared itself an independent country the next day.
