Midnight stars

When, yesterday evening, the opposition declared a countrywide shutdown for today, Thursday, the British Council, and all the students taking their exams today, were scrambling to figure out what to do.
At 10:30 PM last night, we were given confirmation that the exams would happen today, but also that the one our students are taking would start at 11:45 PM.
Please pray for the students, I think they will be awake tonight, but I wonder how they will be doing tomorrow afternoon when they have to take another test after a night without much sleep.
Also do pray for Bangladesh and for the political situation here.
While we can discuss the justification for calling a general strike when 33 opposition politicians are arrested in one day, there is hopefully no harm in taking a little pleasure in one of the common ways objections are shown. I wonder about the hunger anybody will feel after not having eaten for a full two hours...
