Two bulldozers were being taken toward Dhanmondi 32 via the front of Dhaka City College, accompanied by several young men who identified themselves as activists of various student organizations. This incident took place on Monday (17 November), ahead of the International Crimes Tribunal’s verdict in the crimes against humanity case against deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and two other accused. However, when they attempted to enter Dhanmondi 32 with the bulldozers, the police stopped them, saying that the country’s existing laws do not permit such actions. Security has been tightened across the capital centering the verdict, with additional checkpoints installed. Police and members of other law-enforcement agencies have taken positions at key intersections. The number of private vehicles on the roads has decreased, and recent crude-bomb explosions and arson attacks on buses have heightened public concern. Traffic movement around the High Court and tribunal areas has been restricted, and searches and questioning of suspected individuals are underway.
