Bangladesh: Hifazat wants Bangladesh to run under Islamic law

Dozens of people have been killed in Bangladesh after supporters of a previously little-known Islamic group clashed with the police.

Thousands of supporters of the Hifazat-e-Islam organisation thronged the main commercial district of the capital, Dhaka, calling for blasphemy law.

The leaders of the organisation have dubbed the current government as atheist and said they would fight for restoration of faith in the constitution.

Al Jazeera's special correspondent, whom we are not naming due to reporting restrictions, travelled to the headquarters of Hifazat located in the port city of Chittagong.
