The demonstration was held against the ruling Awami League party and its activities. The assault occurred while journalists were covering a briefing following the protest, with reporters being labelled as “supporters of the Awami League” by the attackers. Mahfuzur Rahman Shishir, a reporter for the Daily Sakal, sustained serious injuries in the incident. Witnesses confirm the attack took place Tuesday morning. Authorities have not yet commented on the incident or announced any arrests. The attack raises concerns about press freedom and safety for journalists covering political events in Bangladesh.
