BANGLADESH: Thousands of people led by students rallied in Bangladesh’s capital yesterday, calling for the prosecution of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and those allegedly responsible for hundreds of deaths in a mass uprising against her government in July.

The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement organised the March for Unity at the Central Shaheed Minar, a national monument in Dhaka. Protesters chanted slogans calling for Hasina’s trial and the banning of her Awami League party.

PUERTO RICO: A blackout hit nearly all of Puerto Rico early yesterday as the US colony prepared to celebrate New Year’s Eve.
