Violence Erupts as Hasina Supporters Gather in Dhaka
News summary

In Bangladesh, a mob attacked suspected supporters of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on the anniversary of her father's assassination, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing political unrest. Hasina, who fled to India last week amid widespread protests against her rule, had called for her supporters to gather at her family's former home. The mobs, claiming to protect a student-led revolution, used bamboo rods and pipes to beat individuals they suspected of being affiliated with Hasina's Awami League party. This year's commemorations, typically marked by large rallies, were overshadowed as tensions flared with the absence of police protection. Protesters formed human barricades to prevent any resurgence of Hasina's support, reflecting the ongoing divisions within the country. Hasina's departure and the violent clashes underscore the deepening political crisis in Bangladesh as rival factions vie for control.
