PEOPLE TOOK TO THE STREETS Protests that started as a reaction to the quota allocation in the public sector for the families of those who participated in the Bangladesh Liberation War turned into anti-government protests. In the past three weeks, hundreds of people have lost their lives or been injured, and approximately 10,000 people have been detained. The government is trying to control the protests with curfews and official holidays, but the protesters who oppose the quota are now demanding the resignation of the government.
147 PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE PROTESTS During the protests initiated by a group of students who claimed that the quota decision benefited the supporters of the Awami League Party led by Sheikh Hasina, according to official figures, 147 people lost their lives. However, the local press reported that at least 200 people lost their lives in these protests.
The government has been trying to control the protests with internet shutdowns, curfews, and official holidays, but these measures have not reduced the tension.
WHAT HAPPENED? Protests led by students began in mid-July after the decision to allocate quotas in the public sector for the children of those who served in the 1971 Liberation War in Bangladesh.
During the protests that lasted for days, the government announced that 147 people lost their lives, while news reports stated that the death toll exceeded 200.
After the High Court reduced the quota rates, the protesters announced that their demands were met and ended the demonstrations.
Following the ban on the Jamaat-e-Islami Party and the student wing Chhatra Shibir, which were accused by the government in the "quota in the public sector" protests, students began to gather again and clashes with the police occurred, demanding justice for those who lost their lives in the protests against the Hasina government in Bangladesh.
More than 100 people lost their lives during the violent incidents that occurred during the anti-government protests on August 4th and 5th.
