11 years of collapse
Brutal testimony of deadly disaster
The year, 2013, was very turbulent in the history of Bangladesh politics. At that time, the trial of crimes against humanity during the 1971 Liberation War was going on in the country which disturbed the members of Jamaat-e-Islami. Jamaat along with its student wing Chhatra Shibir was continuing a series of violent programmes protesting the trial. It was in the context of this trial that 'Gonojagoron Mancha' (mass-upsurge stage) emerged at the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, ahead of the national elections, the movement to restore the caretaker government was going on under the banner of the 18-party alliance led by the BNP.
