Protesters set fire to Sheikh Hasina’s father’s home

Bangladesh protesters have vandalized and set fire to the ex -family The home of the deposited Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, as well as those of other members of her party.

The unrest was challenged by news that Hasina would turn to the country through social media from India, where she was in Exile, since the students led by students, they rejected it last year.

The 77-year-old Hasina, who led Bangladesh for For 20 years, it has been regarded as an autocrat whose government mercilessly pressed against disagreement.

On Wednesday evening, an excavator broke the house of Hasina’s late father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who is also the founder of Bangladesh. The structure was adjusted to a museum.

Hasina’s father is widely regarded as a hero of independence, but the anger towards his daughter has belittled his legacy among Hasina critics.

On Facebook Livestream, Hasina condemned the attack and asked for justice.

“They can tear down a building, but they can’t delete the story,” she said.

Hasina ever welcomed as an icon of democracy, has seen her reputation acidic after taking officeS She has been accused of counterfeiting for elections and the prison of her critics, and her administration has been widely regarded as corrupt.

She faces arrest orders for the destruction of protests led by students last year who saw hundreds of people killed.

As Hasina escaped to India last August, anger did not distract against her and her Awami League league.

On Wednesday, protesters also vandalized and burned the houses and businesses of senior leaders of the Awami League. There are calls in social media to be released from the side of “pilgrimage sites of fascism”.

Police told the BBC’s Bengal service that about 700 protesters appeared on the residence on Wednesday night and dozens of police officers were located.

By the omitation of Hasina the government Nobel laureate Mohammed Yunus has supported the country to work.

But he struggles to quell the late excitement. Thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets in recent months, demanding that Hasina be persecuted for their deadly repression against student protesters.

While the Yunus government is trying to extradite Hasina from India, she is also involved in an oncoming economic crisis – Yunus has accused Hassina of counterfeiting Bangladesh’s economic growth and laundering billions of dollars during her rule.

Yunus promised to hold elections in late 2025 or early 2026.
