Over 100 Dead in Bangladesh Student Protests Over Government Job Quotas More than 100 people have died during student protests in Bangladesh, as demonstrators demand the abolition of quotas for government jobs. With the country facing a high youth unemployment rate, students are calling for an end to the policy that reserves 30% of government jobs for relatives of veterans from Bangladesh’s 1971 War of Independence. The protests, now in their fifth day, have prompted authorities to impose a curfew and restrict internet access since Friday. The government plans to involve the army to suppress the unrest. In the town of Narsingdi, protesters stormed a prison, freeing inmates and setting the building on fire. Numerous government buildings have also been destroyed by demonstrators. According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), which cites hospital data, 105 people have been killed and over a thousand injured during the protests. Security forces are using tear gas and live ammunition to disperse the demonstrators, resulting in injuries to 300 police officers.
