Following citywide anti-government rallies in Dhaka, Sheikh Hasina has taken personal responsibility for detained opposition activists—an unprecedented gesture in Bangladesh’s political history.
The Awami League staged simultaneous rallies across 25 locations in Dhaka, demanding Dr. Muhammad Yunus’s resignation and an immediate return to democratic rule.
The Awami League emblem, featuring Bangladesh’s red and green colors and a symbolic flag, stands for the country’s independence struggle and democratic ideals.
Sheikh Hasina criticized the Bangladesh Army for failing to support its people, warning that internal actions and arrests of retired officers are damaging the nation’s global image.
