Fresh Protests In Bangladesh, Students Demand Resignation Of Top Court Judges

Dhaka: Days after former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was forced to resign and flee from the country, the student protesters have now demanded the resignation of all judges of the Supreme Court, including the Chief Justice, who is believed to be a loyalist of the former PM.

On Saturday, the protesters surrounded the Bangladesh Supreme Court and gave an ultimatum to the judges to resign within an ‘hour.’
According to reports, the Chief Justice, Obaidul Hassan, may have fled the premises and agreed to resign ‘in principle’ after the situation escalated. Hassan was appointed the Chief Justice last year.

The fresh protests were triggered after by a full-court meeting was called by the Chief Justice, reportedly without consulting the newly-formed interim government, led by noble laureate Mohammad Yunus. The students alleged that the judges were ‘part of a conspiracy.’

The neighboring country witnessed a political turmoil, triggered by the massive protests over job quota rules. At least 450 people were killed in more than due to the violent clashes and protests.
