Police stand guard in front of Bangladesh Nationalist party activists during a rally demanding the resignation of the current government, the establishment of a non-partisan neutral government and the release of BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia, in Dhaka on October 28, 2023.
The resurgent opposition has been mounting protests to press their demands for months, despite the BNP's ailing leader Khaleda Zia, a two-time premier and old foe of Hasina's, being effectively under house arrest after a conviction on corruption charges. Student activist Sekandar Badsha, 24, from Chittagong, said: “We demand the immediate resignation of the Hasina government, release of our leader Khaleda Zia and establishing the people’s right to vote.”
BNP spokesman Zahir Uddin Swapan told AFP that there were more than one million people at its rally, which he described as its “final call” for Hasina to resign, and at least 2,900 of its activists and supporters had been held over the past week.
