Student protesters and political activists in Bangladesh clashed on Thursday as they prevented supporters of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from reaching the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum in Dhaka. The museum, once the residence of independence leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was targeted by protesters who set it on fire following Hasina's removal from office.
Rahman, affectionately known as Bangabandhu, was assassinated in a military coup on August 15, 1975, along with most of his family members. The anniversary of his death was marked by tensions as clashes erupted between opposing groups.
