Bangladesh opposition rallies to demand PM’s removal

In Bangladesh, tens of thousands of supporters of the main opposition party are demanding the removal of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ahead of elections expected in January.
Hasina’s Awami League has ruled the world’s eighth most populous country since 2009 and has been accused of human rights abuses and corruption.
The opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) led by former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia and dozens of smaller allies have called for protests throughout the country to demand Hasina step down and the polls take place under a neutral caretaker government.
Many are also voicing anger at rising food prices.
