In 2011 demonstrated violentyly against women's rights and in 2013 held large rallies demanding capital punishment of Shahbag Square protesters and banning women working outside the home... , may split after the death of leader Ahmed Shafi last week, say analysts who expect infighting between a faction allied with the prime minister and one that supports the opposition.
