Supporters of Bangladesh’s former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina were detained after taking to the streets with signs referencing former U.S. President Donald Trump. The demonstration, held in Dhaka, sparked intrigue and confusion as Hasina’s backers waved Trump signs, aiming to draw international attention to their cause. The unusual gesture was reportedly meant to symbolize perceived parallels in political treatment and resilience, though its intent was met with mixed reactions.
Local authorities intervened quickly, citing concerns over public order, and made multiple arrests. This unconventional show of support has drawn attention online, where images of Trump-related signs at the protest are circulating widely. Political analysts suggest the move could indicate an emerging strategy to engage international audiences amid Bangladesh’s tense political climate.
