DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Tens of thousands of protesters rallied in Bangladesh’s capital on Saturday to condemn Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip.
The protesters, estimated at some 100,000, gathered at the Suhrawardy Park in the Dhaka University area. They carried hundreds of Palestinian flags and chanted slogans such as “Free, Free Palestine.”
Many among them beat the images of U.S. President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing them of backing Israel. Symbolic coffins and effigies representing civilian casualties were carried during the rally.
The Bangladesh ɫtvist Party, headed by former Prime Minister , and Islamist groups and parties expressed their solidarity with the rally.
Bangladesh, a Muslim-majority nation of 170 million people, maintains no diplomatic relations with Israel and it officially supports an independent Palestine.
