BANGLADESH: Supporters of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina were blocked from rallying in the capital today.

Activists from the Anti-discrimination Student Movement, which helped overthrow Ms Hasina’s Awami League, and the Jamaat-e-Islami party rallied in the square as League supporters tried to commemorate the 1987 killing of one of their historical leaders, with student movement groups leading hunts for suspected League supporters and attacking them through the capital.
