Bangladeshi police clash with protestors blockading capital FMTNews FMTWorld
DHAKA: Bangladeshi police fired rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse stone-throwing crowds blockading major roads in the capital Dhaka today in the latest protest demanding the prime minister’s resignation.
“Some officers were injured,” Dhaka Metropolitan Police spokesman Faruq Ahmed told AFP. “We fired tear gas and rubber bullets.”AFP journalists at one protest site in Dholaikhal, an old neighbourhood now a hub for automotive repair shops, witnessed protesters retaliate by throwing rocks at riot police and their vehicles.
Transport links between the capital and other parts of the country were badly disrupted, with trucks and buses stuck in gridlock. Police arrested at least 500 opposition activists ahead of a rally outside the party’s headquarters this week.
