At least two people died and thousands were injured after police fired teargas into crowds of protesting students in Bangladesh. Protests erupted on university campuses demanding an end to quotas reserving 30% of government jobs for veterans’ families, reinstated this month after a court order. Despite the supreme court pausing the ruling, students continued to protest, blocking highways and railways. Violence escalated as police and pro-government groups attacked students with teargas, batons, machetes, and rods, leading to the deployment of paramilitary forces nationwide.
