Bangladesh’s Supreme Court scales back controversial government job quota system, which triggered deadly nationwide unrest last week.

Streets calm after ruling but student leaders vow to press on with demonstrations until key demands are met, including the release of those jailed, and officials responsible for the violence resign.

Protesters have been demanding abolition of 30 percent quota for the 1971 liberation war veterans. Court ruling says 93 percent of jobs should be on merit allowing only 5 percent reservation for relatives of freedom fighters and 2 percent for members of ethnic minorities and transgender and disabled people.

Demonstrations began after High Court reinstated controversial quota system last month, which turned violent last week after governing party workers attacked protesting students.

A court in the UAE has handed 57 Bangladeshis long prison terms for holding protests in the Gulf state against their own country’s government.

Three of the unnamed defendants were sentenced to life for “inciting riots in several streets across the UAE on Friday”, while 53 others were jailed for 10 years and one for 11 years, state-run Wam news agency reported, external.

It cited their court-appointed defence lawyer as arguing during Sunday’s trial that the gatherings had no criminal intent and that the evidence was insufficient.

Protests are effectively illegal in the UAE, where foreigners make up almost 90% of the population. Bangladeshis are the third largest expatriate group.

In Bangladesh, more than 150 people have been killed and 500 arrested during days of violence sparked by student-led demonstrations against quotas on government jobs.

On Monday some of the protest leaders gave the government a 48-hour ultimatum to lift a nationwide curfew and restore internet services. They are also demanding the resignation of officials they blame for violence against demonstrators.

The unrest is among the most serious challenges Sheikh Hasina has faced in 15 consecutive years as the country’s prime minister.

Bangladesh Protests - today's protests in Dhaka as gathered by the BBC Bangla team.

According to Wam, the trial of the 57 Bangladeshis heard that they had “organised large-scale marches in several streets of the UAE in protest against decisions made by the Bangladeshi government”.

“This led to riots, disruption of public security, obstruction of law enforcement, and endangerment of public and private property,” it said. “The police had warned the protesters, ordering them to disperse, to which they were unresponsive”.

The court rejected the defendants’ defence and ordered that they be deported after serving their sentences, Wam said.

There was no immediate comment from Bangladesh’s government. But its consulate in Dubai urged citizens to respect local laws in a social media post on Sunday.

Earlier this month, a court in the UAE handed life sentences to 43 human rights defenders and political dissidents who were convicted of “creating a terrorist organisation”.

Human rights groups severely criticised the mass trial, saying the organisation had been an “independent advocacy group”.

This is why you will never see a regime change in UAE and Saudi. We shouldn't think their citizens support their government's policies because they have no room for dissent.

Studies have shown the vast majority of Anti-muslim propaganda being disseminated around the world via the internet. Originates in India.

Chances are the way the PRO- Hindutva propaganda I.T. cells and MSM are covering any situation is how the rest of the world is being exposed to it.

At least 70 people have been killed in Bangladesh as protesters intensify their demand for Prime Minister Hasina's resignation. Initially focused on a jobs quota system, the protests have evolved into a broader anti-government movement calling for her to step down.

The rumours are that a military coup is taking place. Good riddance to bad rubbish. The alternative may not be better but can't possible be any worse than Hasina and her Awami League.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has reportedly left Bangladesh as anti-government protests continue to escalate across the nation. According to local media sources, the Prime Minister's departure comes amid growing unrest and demands for her resignation.

Despite a stringent government crackdown and the imposition of a national curfew, protesters have intensified their efforts, calling for a massive march on the capital city, Dhaka. This move comes after a deadly confrontation on Sunday that resulted in the deaths of nearly 100 people, further escalating tensions within the country.

The protests initially began last month over governmental job quotas, which many viewed as unfair and biased. However, what started as a specific grievance has grown into widespread unrest against the government, encompassing broader issues such as corruption, economic inequality, and the lack of democratic freedoms.

In a significant development, the Chief of Army Staff of Bangladesh has held meetings with various political leaders ahead of a scheduled address to the nation. The army's involvement in political discussions has raised speculation about its role in the ongoing crisis and whether it will step in to restore order or support a political transition.

The unrest has spread nationwide, with demonstrations erupting in major cities and rural areas alike. Protesters are demanding reforms, accountability, and significant changes in governance. The government's heavy-handed response has been met with international condemnation, with human rights organizations calling for restraint and dialogue.

As the situation unfolds, Bangladesh finds itself at a critical juncture. The departure of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina marks a potential turning point, and the outcome of the army chief's address will be closely watched by both domestic and international observers.

The call for a mass march on Dhaka indicates that protesters are determined to continue their struggle for change, regardless of the government's attempts to quell dissent. With the nation on edge, the coming days will be crucial in determining Bangladesh's future path.
