Bangladesh's Supreme Court has drastically scaled back a controversial quota system for government jobs that sparked weeks of unrest and led to dozens of deaths. Thousands of student protesters have taken to the streets demanding the government abolish the quota system, which sets aside about 30 percent of government jobs for the families of veterans who fought in the country's 1971 war of independence. The demonstrators say the job allocations should be merit-based. It's not yet clear how the demonstrators will react to the new ruling, which reduces that quota to 5 percent.

    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 ordinary people who are helping students. Almost 150 students were killed by Bangladesh government. Many students are Under 18. 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.

    Bangladesh's top court scaling back the quota system is not enough. With 151 officially dead and likely more, this is no longer about quotas. The real issue is the violence against unarmed students, the brutality shown, and the complete communication blackout. The world must not ignore these human rights abuses.

    We want the resignation of this government.
  • At this point, hasina should step down. Too much corruption in bangladesh.
  • What about the hundreds of students they killed? Would their life come back ? I believe this just the beginning of actual movement against Hasina
  • Correction: No one protested to ''abolish'' the quota system. It was to 'REFORM'
  • Internet is off in Bangladesh for four days today, we cannot communicate with Bangladesh in any way with the whole world. We who are Bangladeshi diaspora, we have not been able to communicate with my mother, father, sister, anyone for four days. Internet is off. Please bring this news to the United Nations. Please.

    Success of students movement of Bangladesh congratulations 🎉 from India ❤ condolences to all martyr students and their family!
  • These Bangladeshi courts are subservient to Sheikh Hasina, acting as willing servants to her, consistently striving to please her and her regime.
  • After the quota issue, the slogan for Sheikh Hasina's resignation comes first. Breaking the curfew, protests continue! Ittefaq reports that 28 students and civilians were killed in Saturday's clash, while Daily Star's headline mentions 21. Today, AFP's "body count" is 150! The actual numbers for Dhaka and beyond are unknown. The majority were shot directly. To cover up the largest student massacre in history, the murderers hastily set up a court today, in Sheikh Hasina's kangaroo court. Perhaps the verdict will be given today itself, accepting everything. The quota issue is over, it’s a dead issue. The demand for the fall of the enemy of the people is now at the forefront, in every slogan.
  • The quota has been rescaled on paper,but with a loophole that says govt. can adjust it when they,due to the blackout a lot of info is not coming through.
  • @aworan833
    There's a catch in this supreme court ruling, which is, "government can revise this quota whenever they want."

    Bangladeshi people working outside the country must be really worried about their family in Bangladesh now.
