Jul 21, 2024, 08:42 AM
Bangladesh's Supreme Court has scaled back the government job quota system that sparked deadly student-led protests. The quotas, which reserved a significant percentage of government jobs for certain groups, led to widespread unrest and violent clashes across the country. Reports indicate that at least 114 people were killed during the protests, with some sources reporting as many as 151 deaths. The court's decision aims to address the grievances of the protesters while maintaining some level of reservation for specific groups, reducing the quota to just 7%.
