Students Against Discrimination: Bangladesh Protests Over Quota System for Government Jobs Intensify

Broke On: Tuesday, 16 July 2024 Students in Bangladesh protest against the reinstatement of a quota system for government jobs, arguing it limits opportunities based on merit. At least five people have been killed and over 400 injured in clashes between students and supporters of the quota system.
