Demolition of Dhanmondi 32

On 5 February 2025, the former residence of Bangladesh's founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Dhanmondi 32, was occupied and demolished by a large mob of activists in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The building, which housed Bangabandhu Memorial Museum and was considered a historic site, was torn down organising a rally during a period of intense political turmoil, which took place in the following months after the resignation of the Prime MinisterSheikh Hasina.

The demolition followed an online press conference attended by Sheikh Hasina self-imposed exile in India, during which she addressed topics that the rally described as "against national interests". This event occurred amid years of growing discontent regarding the political influence of the Sheikh family in the country's political landscape, and the rise of a cult of personality of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The demolition resulted in several months of political clashes, causing over a hundred casualties.

The events spread to various properties belonging to members of the Awami League, which was later officially banned in May 2025 for its role in crimes against humanity. The protests were a direct reaction to an online address by Sheikh Hasina, the fugitive former Prime Minister who was sentenced to death in absentia in November 2025 for her role in the 2024 massacres.
