Injured brought to hospital following deadly unrest over job quotas ruling in Bangladesh

9 hours ago

Injured people arrived at a hospital in Dhaka after days of nationwide unrest and deadly clashes between police and demonstrators that have killed scores of people. Students, frustrated by shortages of good jobs, have been demanding an end to a quota that reserved 30% of government jobs for relatives of veterans who fought in Bangladesh’s war of independence in 1971. Bangladesh’s top court on Sunday scaled back the controversial system in a partial victory for student protesters. (AP video shot by AI Emrun Garjon)
