Students, people now at protest stage

Students and people have taken a position in front of the protest stage from the Chief Adviser’s residence, state guesthouse Jamuna, demanding a complete ban on the Awami League.

The protesters went in front of the fountain located east of the residence of the chief adviser and in front of InterContinental Dhaka around 12 pm on Friday (May 9).

A rally is scheduled to be held at this stage after Friday prayers with the participation of the National Citizen Party (NCP) and its like-minded political and social organizations.

Earlier, the protesting students and people took a position in front of the Jamuna demanding that the Awami League be banned as a party of genocide and fascism. The sit-in programme, which began around 10 pm on Thursday, is still underway.
