Nobel Peace Prize laureate and human rights activist Tawakkol Karman has hailed the recent student-led revolution in Bangladesh, declaring a "new day of freedom and liberation" following the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed. 

Facing intense student protests, Hasina Wajed has left the country. The protests, which began in July, were sparked by students demanding the abolition of the "quota" system. This system, reinstated by the Supreme Court, grants preferential treatment in civil service jobs and other privileges to families of veterans of the 1971 Liberation War.

The protests, which began in July, were met with a harsh crackdown by the government, resulting in the deaths of approximately 300 people and injuries to hundreds more. 

In a statement posted on her official Facebook page, Karman said, "A new day of freedom and liberation has dawned in Bangladesh, made by the blood of the martyrs and the great struggle of its people." 

The student movement, which gained widespread public support, has been hailed as a victory for democracy and a testament to the power of peaceful resistance. The future of Bangladesh remains uncertain, but the success of the student revolution has ignited hope for a brighter future.
