Bangladesh anti-job quota system protests continue as the death toll climbed to 114, with thousands injured.

Footage shows demonstrators, mostly university students, opposing the policy and clashing with police in Dhaka on Friday.

The protests, which began last month, turned violent on July 15 in the capital and the clashes quickly spread to neighbouring cities. Six deaths were reported on the first day and climbed to hundreds within days while more than 2,500 were hurt.

The protestors are demanding the abolition of a quota system that reserves up to 30 per cent of high-paying government positions for the descendants of veterans who fought in the 1971 Bangladeshi independence struggle.

The situation remains tense as both sides continue to engage in violent confrontations across the country.

The students call for a merit-based system to replace the quota system, which they say is 'discriminatory and biased towards supporters of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.'

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's Awami League party accuses the opposition of fueling the violence.
