A mob wielding bamboo rods and pipes beat suspected supporters of Bangladesh’s ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday as they gathered to pray and mark the anniversary of the 1975 assassination of Hasina’s father, independence hero Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, at the ex-PM’s old family home. Hasina had earlier called on her supporters to assemble outside the landmark in her first public statement after fleeing the country last week.
