The government of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been accused of killing hundreds of protesters last summer.

Thousands of people have rallied in Bangladesh’s capital to demand the prosecution of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and those responsible for hundreds of deaths in a massive uprising against the government in July.

On Tuesday, the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement organized a so-called “solidarity march” at the Shaheed Minar in the center of the National Monument in Dhaka. Protesters chanted slogans demanding Hasina be tried and her Awami League party banned.

Hasina fled to India on August 5 after weeks of violence, which authorities said was ordered by her government, left hundreds dead and thousands injured. The uprising ends the 15-year rule of the country’s longest-serving prime minister, who began his fourth consecutive term in January after opposition parties boycotted the election.

Last week, Bangladesh sent a formal extradition request to India for Hasina. She faces numerous court cases over the deaths of protesters, including some on charges of crimes against humanity.

“We no longer have an enemy in Bangladesh since August 5. Our only enemy is the Awami League,” student movement convener Hasnat Abdullah said while addressing the crowd.

Protesters are also urging the interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus to issue a formal proclamation representing the uprising by January 15.

Student leaders want the announcement to include two key demands: a new constitution after the abolition of the current charter (issued by Hasina’s father in 1972), and a ban on the Awami League.

Hasina’s party has ruled Bangladesh since 2009.

The Dhaka-based International Crimes Tribunal has issued arrest warrants for Hasina and her close aides, and the government has sought help from the international police organization Interpol in seeking her arrest.

Hasina’s son Sajib Wazeed has challenged the court’s credibility in the United States and called the charges against her a “witch hunt.”

Meanwhile, the interim government has pledged to try Hasina and others in her government on charges related to the protesters’ deaths and invited the United Nations to help investigate the killings.

Hasina also called for an investigation, saying many of the deaths may have involved parties other than security agencies.
