In Bangladesh, up to 28 people have been killed as student-led protests continue across the country amid widespread anger over government quotas on public sector jobs. Hundreds have been injured as riot police clashed with protesters Thursday, deploying tear gas and rubber bullets in the capital Dhaka and other cities. Telecommunications were disrupted Friday, with television news channels going off the air. This is a protester in Dhaka.

Yasmin Juthi: “How can the government run these attacks? We have been saying since the beginning that we are general students. It is a matter of common sense that over 50% of the jobs cannot be given away to quota holders. A normal state cannot be run like this.”
