Youths stage protests at the Shahbagh intersection in the capital on Monday demanding death penalty to Ghulam Azam and other war criminals.
Gonojagoron Mancha and 11 student organisations including Chhatra Union, Chhatra Federation and Chhatra Front have called a daylong countrywide shutdown for Tuesday demanding death penalty to Ghulam Azam and other war criminals.
The call came shortly after former Jamaat-e-Islami chief Ghulam Azam was handed 90-year jail Monday for his role in the murder and genocide of the independence-seeking people of the land who were fighting occupation Pakistani army in 1971.
The 11 organisations convened a press briefing around 4:20pm in front of the National Museum near Gonojagoron Mancha at Shahbagh in the capital to announce the hartal.
Minutes later, Imran H Sarker, spokesperson for the Gonojagoron Mancha, announced that they will enforce hartal across the country on Tuesday.
