A third of public sector jobs had been reserved for the relatives of veterans from the country’s war for independence from Pakistan in 1971.
But after widespread protests, the court has ruled just 5% of the roles can be reserved for veterans' relatives.
A nationwide curfew remains in place, as sporadic clashes are reported to have continued in some areas.

I am a Bangladeshi. Currently I am living in the Uk. There is not mobile network, internet connection, and Wi-Wi-Fi in our country. Since last three days I have no contact with my family in back home. The govt is killing the innocent students and the ordinary people who are helping students. Almost 300+ students were killed by Bangladesh government. Many students are Under 18. They are school children. The government is doing genocide now. We want the resignation of current prime minister Shekh Hasina. She is the most wanted criminal. I urge the United Nations and Human right organizations to help our students and save their lives and ensure the human rights in Bangladesh.
