Hundreds of men, mostly non-students, formed a human wall across the street leading to Hasina’s home, where her father and many of her relatives were killed 49 years ago.

Hasina makes first statement since stepping down
Hasina, 76, fled to India last week as protests swept the streets of Dhaka, ending her 15-year rule.
In her first public statement since her departure, Hasina asked supporters to “lay wreaths and pray for the salvation of all souls” outside the landmark. She is accused of building a cult of personality around her father during her tenure, requiring his likeness to be displayed in every school, government office and diplomatic mission. Criticizing her father online is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
A Dhaka court filed a murder case against Hasina, two senior Awami League allies and four policemen in connection with the riots. Several other senior politicians from the party have also been detained in connection with unrelated investigations. Yunus, 84, returned from Europe last Thursday to lead an interim government tasked with steering democratic reforms. He took office as the “chief adviser” to the caretaker government and said he hoped to hold elections “within a few months.”
The interim government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has invited United Nations investigators to look into the violent “atrocities” that accompanied Hasina’s ouster, which resulted in hundreds of deaths at the hands of security forces. The interim cabinet announced that United Nations investigators would arrive next week to investigate “atrocities” committed during the protests that led to Hasina’s ouster.
