নির্যাতনের শিকার নাহিদ হাসপাতালে, কোটাপ্রথা নিয়ে আদালতের রায় – July-36

This news article covers key events from July 21, 2024 in Bangladesh, during the height of the anti-quota reform movement. The two central developments are: Nahid Islam, a leading coordinator of the quota reform movement, was found unconscious under an overpass in Purbachal after allegedly being abducted, blindfolded, taken to an unknown location, tortured, and left with serious injuries to his left thigh and shoulder; and Bangladesh's Supreme Court issued a ruling restructuring government job quotas — allocating 93% on merit, 5% for freedom fighters and martyrs' families, and 1% for ethnic minorities and people with disabilities. The article also notes that 7 people were killed on that day amid ongoing unrest, with a curfew in effect, military patrols deployed, and at least 550 people arrested nationally over five days. International pressure was mounting, with the UN, EU, and UK expressing concern, the US issuing a travel warning, and the UN Human Rights Commissioner demanding accountability — while the heads of Bangladesh's three armed forces met with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
