Protesters in Bangladesh demand justice and reinstatement for members involved in the 2009 BDR mutiny.

Former Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) members and their families are protesting across Bangladesh to demand the release and reinstatement of dismissed BDR members, an independent reinvestigation of the 2009 BDR mutiny that killed 74 people, and justice for those affected. The government plans to resume trials related to the mutiny at a new location after a fire damaged the previous courtroom. Families of victims and survivors are also calling for the repeal of specific investigation rules and justice for those jailed since the incident.
