Bangladesh’s top court has scrapped most of the quotas on government jobs that had sparked violent clashes across the country that have killed more than 100 people.
A third of public sector jobs had been reserved for the relatives of veterans from the country’s war for independence from Pakistan in 1971.
But after widespread protests, the court has ruled just 5% of the roles can be reserved for veterans’ relatives.
A nationwide curfew remains in place, as sporadic clashes are reported to have continued in some areas.
