July 23: 7% quota gazette issued, protesters call for justice over deaths
This news article, published on July 23, 2025, covers events that occurred on July 23, 2024, as part of a "Monsoon Revolution" retrospective series. On that day, the Bangladeshi government issued a gazette formalizing a 7% public service quota — 5% for freedom fighters, 1% for indigenous communities, and 1% for persons with disabilities and third-gender individuals — following an Appellate Division verdict. Despite the quota reform being implemented, protests continued, with Anti-Discrimination Student Movement coordinator Nahid Islam demanding accountability for deaths and injuries sustained during the demonstrations. Additionally, broadband internet was partially restored after a five-day shutdown, long-distance transport resumed on key highways, and several Dhaka Metropolitan Police station commanders were transferred.
