The July 2024 Revolution in Bangladesh, also known as the Student–People’s Uprising, was a significant pro-democracy movement that led to the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina after 15 years in power. The unrest began in early June 2024 when the Bangladesh Supreme Court reinstated a controversial quota system in government jobs, reserving 30% of civil service positions for descendants of freedom fighters from the 1971 Liberation War. This decision sparked widespread protests, particularly among students and young graduates facing high unemployment rates.
