The main opposition party in Bangladesh and its allies staged a large rally on Monday in the capital Dhaka.
They were protesting against the police crackdown on their party members, during a peaceful sit-in on Saturday.
They want the government to step down and hand over power to a caretaker administration ahead of the general election later this year.
