At Least One killed in clashes between Bangladesh regime forces, protesters

At least one person has been shot dead in clashes between Bangladesh security forces and protesters over controversial trials of the leaders of the country’s Jamaat-e-Islami party.

On Friday, thousands of supporters of the opposition party poured into the streets at Monirampur village in western Bangladesh.
The protest turned violent after demonstrators tried to stop the police from detaining four leaders of the Jamaat-e-Islami party.
A spate of violent clashes erupted in Bangladesh soon after the International Crimes Tribunal sentenced Delwar Hossain Sayedee, vice-president of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, to death for committing crimes during the country’s war of independence against Pakistan in 1971.
On March 11, a similar protest took place in the capital Dhaka where several home-made bombs went off in the city.
On March 2, police fired dozens of shots at supporters of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, who had gathered in Chittagong district, southeast of the capital, Dhaka, killing three of them.
