Bangladesh Violent Protest: Supreme Court Scales Back Job Quota That Sparked Deadly Violence
Bangladesh’s Supreme Court has ordered a significant reduction in the country’s controversial quota system for government jobs, following nationwide protests and violent clashes that have resulted in numerous casualties.
The new ruling stipulates that 93% of government jobs will now be allocated based on merit, with the remaining 7% reserved for relatives of veterans from Bangladesh’s 1971 war of independence and other specific categories.
Previously, 30% of these jobs were reserved for war veterans' relatives.
The United States has escalated its travel advisory for Bangladesh to Level 4 — "Do Not Travel" — amid escalating civil unrest and violence that has rocked the South Asian nation. The advisory, issued by the US Department of State, advises American citizens to avoid travel to Bangladesh due to ongoing unrest, crime, and terrorism concerns. The advisory also authorises the voluntary departure of non-emergency US government employees and their families from Bangladesh, reflecting the gravity of the situation on the ground. This recommendation comes in the wake of severe clashes over government job allocations, which have resulted in over 40 deaths and hundreds of injuries.
