Protesters say the July National Charter, named after the national uprising that started last July, doesn't address their concerns. Police have fired tear gas and used grenades and batons to disperse protesters gathered outside Bangladesh's national Parliament complex to express dissatisfaction with the interim government's new political charter. The charter was drafted more than a year after Gen Z demonstrations that led to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's removal.
"Political parties and organizations of a political nature are dissolved throughout the national territory," Nassire said. "It is forbidden for members of dissolved political parties and political organizations to hold any meetings."
