SRI LANKA BANGLADESH STUDENTS PROTEST

Protest in solidarity with the students of Bangladesh, in Colombo

epa11491320 Sri Lankan university students and civil rights activists hold placards and shout slogans in front of the Bangladesh High Commission during a protest in solidarity with the students of Bangladesh, in Colombo, Sri Lanka, 22 July 2024. They demand an immediate end to the Bangladeshi government's alleged repression of students protesting the job quota system. On 22 July Bangladesh was under curfew; widespread disruption of telecoms prevailed a day after the Bangladesh Supreme Court scrapped some quotas for government jobs that sparked protests, and police were authorized to enforce 'shoot on sight' orders across the country during curfew as casualties mounted and law enforcement struggled to contain the unrest. The Bangladeshi government imposed a nationwide curfew and deployed military forces after violence broke out in Dhaka and other regions following student-led protests demanding reforms to the government's job quota system.
