Bangladesh court abolishes job quotas after deadly protests

Bangladesh's Supreme Court has abolished most government job quotas, allowing 93% of positions to be merit-based, following protests that resulted in over 114 deaths. The unrest, sparked by a lower court's reinstatement of a 30% quota for veterans' relatives, escalated into violence despite government curfews and military presence. The decision marks a significant challenge for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina amid rising youth discontent and unemployment.
