Fresh clashes broke out in Bangladesh on Friday as protesters opposed the interim government’s new political charter. Hundreds gathered outside the National Parliament complex in Dhaka, accusing the government of ignoring their concerns. Police fired tear gas, stun grenades, and used batons to disperse the crowd. Several people were injured. The protesters were part of the movement that ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina last year. The new “July National Charter,” signed by major political parties, aims to guide reforms under Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus’s government. However, several groups refused to sign, calling the charter incomplete and unfair.
