00:00Dozens of protesters, who were part of the student-led movement that ousted Bangladeshi
00:08Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, gathered on the streets of Dhaka to deter any rally by
00:14her supporters on Thursday, the country's former public holiday, National Mourning Day.
00:20The day was designated to mark the anniversary of the assassination of Hasina's father and
00:24President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1975 under Hasina's regime.
00:30The protesters, many of them students, wielded sticks and flags while crowding around and
00:35shouting at individuals wearing black, whom they believed to be Hasina supporters.
00:41Several protesters prevented Reuters from filming them during the clashes.
00:45Around 300 people died in student-led demonstrations that began as protests against employment
00:50quotas but later spiralled into a movement seeking Hasina's overthrow.
00:56An interim government, led by Nobel Prize-winning economist Mohamed Younis, has been appointed
01:01to plug a power vacuum and hold elections.
