Bangladesh Quota Protests Turn Deadly, Leaving Five Dead

In Bangladesh, students have been protesting nationwide for two consecutive days against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government. The protests, led by student organizations, are primarily focused on public sector job quotas amid high youth unemployment. According to reports, hundreds of students initially gathered outside the residence of Jahangirnagar University's vice chancellor after being attacked by members of the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), the student wing of the governing Awami League party.
