After weeks of widespread unrest in Bangladesh, the Supreme Court has changed a controversial quota system for government jobs.
It’s significantly reduced the share of public sector positions reserved for war veterans’ family members.
But despite the ruling, the protests appear to be far from over.
Initially student-led, they’ve grown to include people frustrated by rising inflation and high food prices.
With soldiers on the streets, a nationwide curfew in place and a communications blackout, there are also growing calls for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to take accountability.
So will the quota reforms be enough to restore calm?

Living amid super class price hiking.
I have seen in my eyes, more than 50 people including 10 Child killed in my area only. Then could anyone imagine that how many people killed at whole nation in Bangladesh? Police, RAB & Govt. party’s supporters openly fired everywhere. I just shocked & I have nothing to say about this kind of Genocide. We general people wants help from our friend countries. Please help us.

Emergency Call: Save Bangladeshi Students
The situation in Bangladesh has reached a critical point. The government, supported by police and military forces, is attacking students who are peacefully advocating for their rights. Reports indicate over 1,000 students have tragically lost their lives, more than 60,000 have been injured, and 25,000 have been arrested without just cause.
These actions are not only a grave violation of human rights but also a direct attack on the future of our nation. The students are voicing their concerns and aspirations, yet they are met with violence and oppression. This is unacceptable.
We appeal to the international community, human rights organizations, and people of conscience worldwide to take immediate action. Raise your voice, spread awareness, and demand accountability from the Bangladeshi government. Our students need your support to ensure their safety and to protect their fundamental rights.
Stand with us in solidarity. Let’s work together to end this violence and secure a peaceful and just future for our students and our country.
Maraming salamat Al Jazeera

Terrorist attack on Bangladesh… USA supporting those terrorists same like they support in GAZA…💔 and spreading false news on BBC, CNN and Al Jazeera as usual.
By killing thousands of students, this government has multiplied.

Innocent students were killed in thousand number (970+++)
By Police,BGB,Army(Using UN vehicles)
Save bangladeshi student
This movement is a far-reaching conspiracy to influence the current Awali League government’s sick mentality, planned destruction, genocide, harassment, suppression of dissent in the eyes of the country and the international community!
Thanks Al Jazeera for reporting us.
Step down Hasina
Sreeradha Datta is a culprit behind making such an autocratic govt. like this who doesn’t hesitate to kill 200+ students
Please save Bangladeshi Students
1000+ students died
More than 1000 has been murdered brutally already.
People got shot while they were inside their house, buttlet went through the window.
One lady got shot when she was standing on the roof around late afternoon. The bullet came from the choper that belongs to RAB.
One injured, unarmed student was being dragged by his friend to safety, police walked up to the kid and shot him dead to make sure he dies.
The fact that the police, Rab, and Army is working together under the banner of the ruling dictator is a big big problem.
Please Save Bangladeshi students. 🙏🇧🇩

সাধারণ ছাত্রদের গন হত্যা চালিয়েছে সরকার প্রাদান
mass murder..in government
After the partition of India-Pakistan in 1947, due to discrimination, the independence movement in Pakistan in 1971 through mass revolution and the result of independent Bangladesh. But why again that discrimination ???
Sheikh Hasina is totally failed to give leadership for Bangladesh.
She kills general public and students to build up her order and needs
Please help the students of Bangladesh

Teenage girls are being beaten by the government goons police are helping them
Justice for Bangladeshi students 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
More than 1000 people were killed by dictator Sheikh Hasina…. (Numbers may be not accurate cause government has banned Internet, so that international media can not see this genocide
Sheikh Hasina’s government brutally killed Bangladesh students by firing bullets and now they call all the students as Razakars 🥺💔
No Internet, no connectivity,crisis, scary& very critical moment in Bangladesh
Still your news are filtered. Govt keeps killing innocent people here. Internet is back but we can only WATCH YouTube. Nothing else works. We are not allowed to go out. Police even killed 2 kids who are below 10. This is outrageous 😭
Bangladesh is a peace loving country,Bangladesh believes in friendship with all countries and does not support war. Then why did the students indulge them, why didn’t the students boycott them, killings are being talked about again and again, I will say that neither the government nor the students killed anyone, the third parties who were connected did it, this needs to be properly investigated. ,
Govt cut internet to cover it’s wrongdoings, not for security
খুনি, স্বৈরাচার, গনতন্ত্র হত্যাকারী হাসিনার অপশাসন থেকে জিম্মি জনগণ কে মুক্ত করুন। নোবেল জয়ী ড: ইউনুস সাহেব কে রক্ষা করুন। এটা আমাদের দেশের জনগণের প্রানের দাবী।।
I am a co-ordinator of the anti-quota movement and a general student. Now I’m scared the police are looking for me. Many police have disappeared and killed. I will ask the outside world to help us. We do not want this murderous government. 900+ common students, common people even children killed. 1600+ injured 6000+ arrested and many missing.
Thousands of people were killed by the police and others forces
Many innocent people.. were killed around thousand.. police directly fired the bullet at the normal people..
About 800 students have been killed in the Bangladesh student movement, the administration of Bangladesh and the Awami League have left many more missing. Please help the Bangladeshi students by shutting down the internet and many more have been killed
Save Bangladeshi student.

নিহত পরিবারগুলো কি ভাবে ভুলে যাবে তাদের স্বজনদের!
যেখানে শেখ হাসিনা এখনো ভুলতে পারেন না বলে দাবী করেন।
আহত মানুষগুলো তাদের অঙ্গহীন শরীর ও বু-লেটগুলো কবর পর্যন্ত বয়ে বেড়াবে।
আওয়ামী লীগ ক্ষমতার জন্য জীবন নেওয়া শুরু করেছে আর জুলুম থেকে বাঁচতে মাজলুম জীবন দেওয়া শুরু করেছেন।
Save the student society of Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Sheikh Hasina is number 1 culprit in Bangladesh.
The perpetrators of the atrocities in 1971, 15 August 1975, 3 November 1975, 21 August 2004, and those same traitors and murderers seen in 2013, 2014, 2015, and most recently in 2024, are associated with BNP-Jamaat. Chhatra Dal, Shibir, and suicide squads from extremist groups infiltrated student movements and carried out rampages reminiscent of Pakistani brutality across the country. The killing of students under the guise of these movements by these groups has placed responsibility squarely on the government.
নিরস্ত্র ছাত্র ছাত্রীদের উপর আওয়ামী সরকার যেভাবে গুলি চালিয়েছে তার বিচারের দাবি করছি আন্তর্জাতিক আদালতের কাছে । সাহায্য চাইছি আপনাদের কাছে । 😞😞😞😞😞
