Bangladesh

Mass dissatisfaction

A huge protest in the capital against an Islamist party and its leaders

Feb 16th 2013 | DHAKA |From the print edition </printedition/2013-02-16>

**

Broad change, or a tight noose?

THEY are the biggest rallies in Bangladesh for at least two decades.Hundreds of thousands of protesters gather peacefully each day in Dhaka,the capital, demanding vengeance against a bearded political figure,Abdul Quader Mollah. Their numbers swell daily: ordinary people furiousthat, despite his conviction for dreadful crimes during Bangladesh’s warof independence in 1971, Mr Mollah faces only a life sentence.

The rallies began on February 5th after online activists called forprotests at Shahbag, a busy intersection in central Dhaka. They want MrMollah and others on trial to face the death penalty. He was convictedby the International Crimes Tribunal, a local court set up by thegovernment of Sheikh Hasina to prosecute men, largely from an Islamic

opposition party, accused of murder, torture, rape and other wartimeatrocities. When, somewhat unexpectedly, Mr Mollah was spared a deathsentence, he was seen flicking supporters a V-for-victory sign. Thatsmug gesture may have helped to provoke the outrage.

Shahbag has given its name to the protests, though some now dub it “newgeneration roundabout”, hinting at broad aspirations for politicalchange. Families attend, with toddlers sporting bandannas bearingslogans that call for the death penalty. Television coverage helps todraw the crowds. By February 15th, and Friday prayers, 500,000 peoplemay gather. The sight of young, otherwise progressive Bangladeshisseeking capital punishment, through music, street theatre, chants andrecitals, is both moving and unsettling. Almost no one pays heed toknown flaws in the trial.

Both the ruling Awami League and, belatedly, the chief opposition, theBangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), have fallen in with the protests.Senior politicians from the ruling party have attempted to co-opt thedemonstrations, but their efforts to speak to the crowd were firmly

rebuffed. Still, the League could get a boost. Sheikh Hasina honouredher promise to hold war-crimes trials. In parliament this week she alsospoke up for the death penalty, saying that even impartial judges mustlisten to public opinion. Next, the parliament is expected, on February17th, to amend the act behind the war-crimes court so that thegovernment can appeal against verdicts. Mr Mollah’s reprieve may beshort-lived.

Matters are trickier for the BNP, which dallied for eight days beforejoining the protesters. It had more to lose, in particular a usefulelectoral alliance with the biggest Islamist party, the Jamaat-e-Islami,whose leaders comprise most of those on trial. In the end, so many BNPsupporters went off to join the Shahbag protests that the party had no

choice.

Protesters say that their movement is a narrow one against politicalIslam: in favour of secular government, they want Jamaat banned. Arampage by Jamaat’s violent youth wing has done nothing to damp downsuch calls. The government, which has already brought back an explicitlysecular constitution from 1972, may soon feel ready to move.

Yet, as with any big protests, further political demands may emerge. Theprotests could become a plea for broad change. Few like a politicalsystem dominated by a long, bitter fight between a pair of self-servingdynasties, those of Sheikh Hasina and the BNP’s Khaleda Zia, and theirstave-wielding followers. If that duopoly were broken up, many at

Shahbag would celebrate.
