Two die and thousands hurt in crackdown on Bangladesh student protests
Police fire teargas at university campuses as students demand end to discriminatory job quotas
At least two people died and thousands were injured after police fired teargas into crowds of protesting students, and paramilitary forces were deployed across the country.
Protests first broke out on university campuses across Bangladesh a fortnight ago as tens of thousands of students demanded an end to “unreasonable and discriminatory quotas” for government jobs.
