At least six students have been killed in Bangladesh as young government supporters and police firing tear gas clashed with students protesting against a quota system for coveted government jobs, police say.
Tens of thousands of students joined nationwide protests for a second day after more than 100 people were injured on Monday in rallies that blocked major highways and rail links.
They are the first significant protests against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government since she won a fourth straight term in January.
