One police officer was killed in Bangladesh on Saturday and over 100 people injured during an opposition party protest demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and calling for a free and fair vote under a caretaker government.
Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets as clashes erupted when tens of thousands of supporters of the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party gathered in the capital Dhaka, chanting slogans against the government.Dhaka Metropolitan Police spokesman Faruq Hossain told reporters one officer had been killed. Police sources said 41 officers were injured in clashes with protesters.
The party has been calling on Hasina to resign to allow elections scheduled in January to be held under a neutral caretaker government - a demand her government has so far rejected. "The intensity increased and violent attacks with sounds of blasts and shootings turned the whole place into a war zone.""I came to protest the enforced disappearances, murders, and oppression that we have suffered for the past 15 years. This government is not safe anymore for even a second," BNP supporter Arif Khan said.
