A new round of violence in Bangladesh has left more than 30 people dead and hundreds of others injured as student protesters clashed with police and ruling party activists.

The protests began as students called for an end to a quota system that awarded 30% of government jobs to relatives of veterans, but they escalated into violence that left more than 200 dead in July.
