On Sunday, the Bangladesh Supreme Court scaled back a controversial job quota system that had caused nationwide protests over the past week. The ruling ordered that the veterans’ quota be cut to 5 percent, with 93 percent of jobs to be allocated on merit. The remaining 2 percent will be set aside for members of ethnic minorities, transgender people, and disabled people. How protesters would react to the court’s decision was not immediately clear.
