Satkhira lawyers demand Hasina's release
A total of 139 lawyers of the district judges' court in Satkhira in a statement yesterday demanded release of Awami League (AL) chief and former prime minister Sheikh Hasina before the government proposed dialogue.
The proposed dialogue without Hasina will not be meaningful and successful, they said.
