More protests have taken place in Bangladesh against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her government to demand justice for more than 200 people killed in last month’s violent demonstrations despite reforms announced in the job quota system which prompted weeks of protests. Over 2,000 protesters gathered in parts of the capital Dhaka on Friday, some shouting “down with the autocrat” and chanting justice for the victims as police officers circled around them. Analysts say this is one of the most challenging moments for Hasina who returned to power in January for a fourth consecutive time amid election boycott by the major opposition parties.
