DHAKA: Pro-BNP lawyers on Monday locked four gates of the Supreme Court, protesting the restoration of parliament’s authority to impeach judges.

The lawyers brought out a protest procession in Supreme Court Lawyer Association Building around 11:00am.

Meanwhile, the lawyers locked three gates in the third floor and a gate in ground floor of the court building.

On Wednesday, the parliament passed the much-talked-about ‘Constitution (16th Amendment) Bill, 2014’ without any opposition, paving the path for establishing its power to remove Supreme Court judges.
