Supporters of Bangladesh’s main opposition party rallying in Dhaka.
The latest demonstrations in the capital are against a nine-year jail sentence given to the son of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.
Riot police have repeatedly cracked down on anti-government protesters, demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her government.
Al Jazeera’s Tanvir Chowdhury has more from the capital Dhaka for the latest updates.

Great job al Jazeera, we appreciate to al Jazeera for presenting true news,
Aowami League did good development and many more work, but they destroyed election culture. People wants to vote freely and elect the man what they like. Aowami league main problem is they destroyed people’s voting rights.

“Fascism” is very much a mob movement. Soon There will be no loyalty towards Bangladesh, except loyalty towards the fascist Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science. There will be no need of science. There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always—do not forget this—always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future Bangladesh, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.
“Democratic police Vs Non Democratic police & law enforcement agencies”.
It is ironic that police are both a major support and a major threat to a democratic society. When police operate under the rule of law they may protect democracy, But apart from the rule of law and public accountability, the police power to use force, engage in summary punishment, use covert surveillance, and to stop, search and arrest citizens, can be used to support dictatorial regimes and practices. The policing of crime and politics merge and political dissent becomes a crime.
Police are a central element of a democratic society. Indeed one element in defining such a society is a police force that 1) is subject to the rule of law, rather than the wishes of a powerful leader or party 2) can intervene n the life of citizens only under limited and carefully controlled circumstances and 3) is publicly accountable.
Indeed it is easier to define a non-democratic police and non-democratic police behaviour than their opposites. But viewed abstractly all democratic police systems share the ideal that police powers are not to be used according to the whims of the ruler or the police agent. Ideally citizens would accept police authority out of respect, rather than out of intimidation.
A democratic police is defined by both its means and its ends. Some means are simply too abhorrent and are prohibited under any circumstances: torture and summary executive, kidnapping, and harming family members of a suspect.
In a democratic society police must not be a law unto themselves. In spite of strong pressures and temptations to the contrary, they are not to act in an explicitly political fashion, nor to serve the partisan interests of the party in power, or the party they would like to see in power. Their purpose must not be to enforce political conformity.
In an important sense a democratic police is a neutral police. in a disturbance police are not to take sides, nor should they spy on, or disrupt the legal actions of an opposition political party. Democratic societies strive for equal law enforcement. Citizens are to be treated in equivalent ways. Police show neutrality if they simply enforce the rules regardless of the characteristics of the persons or group involved (e.g., their race or social class).
even critical, loyal opposition to the ruler’s party is a crime against the state.
I’m deeply concerned for the current “Non- democratic police & other law enforcement agency’s” behaviour and existence of democracy in Bangladesh.
Save Bangladesh from fascist Hasina😢
🌹🌹🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇭
Kudos to Aljazeera for standing up for the oppressed people of Bangladesh
I want my right to vote back. I want elections under a neutral caretaker government. If this vote stealer Hasina is in power, there will be no fair and impartial elections in Bangladesh which we saw in 2014 and 2018.
We retain back our democracy and human rights!
please help my country… go to sekh hasina
Whole BNP
We demand free and fair election with caretaker government. International media Pleas Stand with Us
