Bangladesh Supreme Court Scales Back Job Quotas After Protests Leave 151 Dead
Jul 21, 2024, 10:00 AM
Bangladesh's Supreme Court has significantly scaled back the controversial government job quota system, which had reserved a substantial percentage of jobs for specific groups, including descendants of the 1971 war of independence veterans. This decision follows deadly nationwide protests led by students, resulting in at least 151 deaths. The unrest was sparked by perceptions that the quota system was discriminatory. The court's ruling reduces the reserved job quota to just 7%, a move aimed at calming the violence and addressing the protesters' demands.
