Bangladesh youth aim to restore hope after deadly student protests | The Stream
Students and youth across Bangladesh have been protesting against a government job quota system perceived as unfairly favouring the children of "freedom fighters" from Bangladesh’s war for independence.
The protests escalated after unprecedented police violence, and the students’ demands have expanded beyond the initial call for the quota system’s cancellation.
What are the demands of the country’s youth? We’ll be speaking to a panel of young activists.
