Bangladeshi students on guard as exiled PM urges show of strength

Protesters march to block the house of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the first president of independent Bangladesh and father of ousted ex-premier Sheikh Hasina, in Dhaka on Aug. 15, 2024, to mark the anniversary of his assassination.

Hundreds of Bangladeshi students wielding bamboo rods patrolled the site of a planned gathering Thursday of ousted premier Sheikh Hasina's supporters, vowing to quash any show of strength.
