The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement leaders have announced a siege of the High Court due to fears of a judiciary coup.

The protesters gathered in front of the Supreme Court's annexe building from 11am on Saturday.

During this time, they were seen chanting various slogans demanding the chief justice's resignation.

Meanwhile, Chief Justice Obaidul Hassan has announced the postponement of the full court meeting, which was called with the participation of all judges from both divisions of the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court's public relations officer, Md Shafiqul Islam, confirmed this on Saturday morning.

The chief justice initially called the full court meeting at 10:30am to discuss how the court could operate under the current circumstances and various other issues.

Youth and Sports Ministry Adviser, Asif Mahmud, posted a Facebook status on Saturday with an ultimatum for the chief justice's immediate resignation.

Asif Mahmud said: "Chief justice of the Supreme Court, nurtured by fascism and involved in various misdeeds, has called a full court meeting without any discussions with the government. No conspiracy by the defeated forces will be tolerated. Students and lawyers have already started to gather in protest."

Another coordinator of the student movement, Hasnat Abdullah, came on a Facebook live this morning and said: "To protect the uprising of students and citizens, surround the High Court to stop the judiciary coup."

He also called on people to march towards the High Court from wherever they are.

In a Facebook post, he later said: "We had already called for the chief justice's resignation. If they take a stance against the students and incite them, they will have to face dire consequences."

Urging immediate and unconditional resignation, Hasnat Abdullah said: "Otherwise, the same public that could dethrone the autocratic Hasina will not take even half an hour to pull you down from your chairs."
