The members of the Islamic Movement Bangladesh formed a human chain at Baitul Mukarram, Dhaka, criticising China for attempts to destroy the minaret and dome of the 13th-century mosque. People assembled here to protest despite heavy rain.
Clashes broke out between Chinese Police and people in a Muslim-Majority town in southwestern China as protestors tried to stop the cops from demolishing a domed roof of the centuries-old Najiaying Mosque.
