Classes resume at Bangladesh university at heart of anti-Hasina protests

Sep 24, 2024

Dhaka [Bangladesh], September 23: Students have returned to classes at Bangladesh's Dhaka University, after a weeks-long shutdown sparked by a student-led uprising that toppled former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Tens of thousands had demonstrated on the campus and in the surrounding Shahbagh neighbourhood as protests against job quotas morphed into a nationwide struggle to end Hasina's 15 years of iron-fisted rule.
Enrolled at the university were several of the top student protest leaders, some of whom were snatched by plainclothes police and held in custody for several days.
On Sunday, the lecture halls were full again, with students chatting in groups along tree-covered walkways and buying drinks and snacks at canteens. (Agencies)
