rickshaw

Jones, dressed as her character Nessa, was seen in a rickshaw on Barry seafront in south Wales, with her co-star Joanna Page, as Stacey, in the back.

“It was amazing - people of all ages and classes came out, from rickshaw pullers to high society people, there were families taking selfies with army officers. We were shouting and celebrating for a new Bangladesh.”

“Inequality had grown so much in Bangladesh as political and economic elites had cosied up to the government. They were reaping so much benefit that what we saw was a class-based movement - students started it, but even rickshaw pullers and normal people joined it. We all felt enough is enough.”

“We will have a beautiful future, God willing,” said Mahmoud Mustafa, a rickshaw driver clutching a plastic food bowl.

Satish Kumar, a 57-year-old rickshaw driver in the capital, said his work was suffering because of the heat.
