Bangladesh protests are escalating over government job quotas, leading to over 100 deaths in clashes between supporters and police. A heartbreaking video shows a victim`s aunt expressing grief, saying her nephew, a student, was killed brutally despite being innocent. The protests stem from discontent over 30% job quotas favoring families of independence fighters. Youth unemployment adds to tensions, making this the largest unrest since Prime Minister Hasina`s recent re-election. Students accuse the government of targeting them unfairly, with many injured and claims of inadequate media coverage. The situation remains volatile, highlighting deep-seated grievances and societal divisions.
