Bangladeshis living in Australia demanded death penalty for Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdul Quader Molla at the Angel Statue in Melbourne on Sunday expressing solidarity with the Shahbagh protests.
A release said that around 300 expatriate Bangladeshis gathered in the place and read out the demands, held posters, formed a human chain and sang patriotic songs.
They also signed a petition to be sent to the prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, through Bangladesh’s high commissioner.
They demanded proper financial and manpower to strengthen the prosecution team.
