    Shocking visuals of protesters vandalising a statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Ms Hasina’s father and the tallest leader in the country’s history who led its fight for Independence from Pakistan…

    Her father’s height seems like a weird detail to include.

      Tallest as in, he was the original, and most popular leader behind the separation of East Pakistan to Bangladesh, not his actual height. He’s the father of the nation of Bangladesh.

        Ah I see. They’re being poetic? Good way to report what sounds like an historic moment for Bangladesh. I don’t have a great sense of the situation. I just hope everyone stays safe. ♥️
