“I am mentally traumatized. I think a different kind of drama is being staged centering the coordinators of anti-discrimination student movement to foil the protest. I was a victim of enforced disappearance, a different kind of confusion regarding other coordinators in the media is being created for others. Representatives of the government are creating division among us. Our unity is being destroyed. We cannot sit together, communicate with each other because of the internet shutdown.”

“If there is no rational and realistic steps taken in favour of our eight-point demands, and our demands are not met, no stern and visible steps are taken, then we cannot leave our protest, keep living in fear. We cannot step back from our movement like a coward."

STORYLINE:
Bangladesh’s top court on Sunday scaled back a controversial quota system for government job applicants, a partial victory for student protesters 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.

The government previously halted it in 2018 following mass student protests, but in June, Bangladesh’s High Court reinstated the quotas and set off a new round of protests.

Ruling on an appeal, the Supreme Court ordered that the veterans’ quota be cut to 5%, with 93% of jobs to be allocated on merit.

The remaining 2% will be set aside for members of ethnic minorities and transgender and disabled people.

The protests have posed the most serious challenge to Bangladesh's government since Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina won a fourth consecutive term in January elections that the main opposition groups boycotted.

Universities have been closed, the internet has been shut off and the government has ordered people to stay at home.

The police are picking up the innocent people they find on the streets, the agitators are being disappeared, they are being taken to the police station and brutally tortured, the media of Bangladesh is completely silent about it.😢😢

Students and common people of Bangladesh have called for mass uprising. They have decided to continue this movement until the current dictator Hasina's government resigns or hands over power.
