Student protests in Bangladesh
News summary

Widespread protests erupted across Bangladesh, culminating in a ‘March for Justice’ as tens of thousands rallied against government violence and the alleged killings of protesters during recent anti-quota demonstrations. The unrest began over demands for reforming a recruitment system that reserves jobs for veterans' relatives, which students deem discriminatory. The government has faced international criticism for its heavy-handed response, leading to over 200 deaths and 10,000 arrests in the clashes, prompting protests from civil society, teachers, and parents in solidarity with students. Police utilized tear gas and batons against demonstrators, resulting in numerous injuries and arrests. Protesters are demanding an apology from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the resignation of several ministers. The EU has postponed cooperation talks with Bangladesh amid concerns over the government's actions against protesters.
