Organised by the Jhenaidah Multimedia Journalists’ Association, the protest began at the organisation’s office and proceeded through key roads and locations in the town. Participants wore black cloths over their mouths as a symbol of protest, ending the march with a sit-in demonstration at Post Office Square.
