Protesters attack supporters of ousted Bangladesh PM in Dhaka
Briefly

The situation escalated in Dhaka as hundreds of student protesters and political activists used bamboo sticks and iron rods to assault supporters of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, specifically targeting individuals trying to access the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum. Protesters prevented many from reaching the site dedicated to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, leading to violence and intimidation, including attacks on journalists who attempted to document the scene.
The anniversary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's death turned chaotic as protesters chanted religious slogans while blocking access to his memorial in Dhaka, reflecting deep political unrest in Bangladesh. This unrest has roots in the recent ousting of Hasina, which has drastically changed the political landscape, allowing for confrontations that echo historical violence and division within Bangladeshi society.
