BBC at memorial for Gen Z protesters after landmark election in Bangladesh

The centre-right Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) won a landslide victory in the first election since the 2024 student uprising that ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.

BBC South Asia correspondent Azadeh Moshiri is in Dhaka outside Hasina’s former residence, which is now built in memory of student protesters killed in the riot.

According to the UN, some 1,400 people have been killed in weeks of anti-government protests in 2024; most of these were in the hands of security forces.
