On Sunday, leaders and activists of the Awami League and its affiliated organizations, whose activities are currently banned, held a public protest march in Gopalganj. Thousands of activists participated in the demonstration, which was organized to ensure the success of a planned "lockdown" program on November 19.
During the event, protesters, armed with poles, oars, and improvised weapons, broke through police barricades. They also vandalized the July Memorial, a police box, and the nameplate at Hadi Chattar, while committing acts of arson in several locations.
