The Shahbag Mass Movement of 2013 in Bangladesh began on February 5, 2013 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with the demand of capital punishment for Abdul Quader Mollah and all other accused war criminals of the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.On February 5, 2013, the Bangladesh International Crimes Tribunal sentenced Mollah to life in prison because he was proven guilty of committing genocide, murder and rape (including rape of underage girls) during the liberation war. Mollah was found guilty of being behind a series of killings including large-scale massacres in the Mirpur area of Dhaka, which earned him the nickname of "Mirpurer Koshai" - Butcher of Mirpur. The movement began at the Shahbag intersection in the heart of Dhaka city, which subsequently came to be known as Projonmo Chottor, or Generation Circle (English translation), which hints at the spontaneous protests and mass movement of the current generation of youth whom many thought were apathetic and uninvolved. Thousands have been holding vigil at Shahbag demanding that they will not leave the streets until Mollah receives capital punishment This video represents solidarity with projonmo chottor from MALAYSIA.
