Bangladesh celebrated the 36th anniversary of independence from Pakistan on Sunday, but the powerful Awami League and three other parties boycotted a key event, accusing the government of condoning war criminals.
Previously known as East Pakistan, Bangladesh won independence in 1971 after a nine-month war helped by India, in which official records say 3 million people were killed and thousands of women raped.
