London , UK. 6th Jul 2018. A protest in Altab Ali Park, Whitechapel by Universal Voice for Justice, UK deplored the attack on the Quota Reform Movements leaders and general students at University of Dhaka. Protests in Bangladesh in April had called on the government to change the recruitment system for government posts that mean only 44% of posts are selected on merit. A protest at Dhaka University in April was attacked by police with tear gas, baton charges and water cannon, after which they were attacked by Bangladesh Chhatra League activists led by General Secretary Motahar Hossain Prince, with more than 160 protesters being injured. This led to widespread protests at universities in Bangladesh in the following days. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed criticsed the students for the disruption they caused an angrily said the quotas would be abandoned, but it remains unclear exactly what changes have been made.
