Protesters in Bangladesh torched a former leader's home, denouncing it as a symbol of "authoritarianism."

Protesters in Dhaka, Bangladesh, vandalized and set fire to the residence of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the country's founding leader and father of the deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The incident happened as Hasina, who fled to India in August 2024, delivered a live online address. The protesters, part of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, consider the house a symbol of "authoritarianism and fascism." The interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, has been working on reforms since Hasina's ouster following widespread protests.
