{'shahbag protests': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'bangladesh liberation war': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'compulsory subjects': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'urdu': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'primary education': [1, 0, 1, 4], 'main demand': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'equal rights': [0, 0, 0, 4], 'capital punishment': [0, 0, 1, 3], 'employment': [0, 4, 2, 24], 'arabic languages': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'crimes': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'introduction': [4, 0, 7, 7]}

The main demand of the `2013 Shahbag Protests` was option 3, which is capital punishment for individuals convicted of crimes against humanity during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.

Option 1, employment for all above eighteen years, does not align with the main demand of the protests. The main focus of the protests was on justice rather than employment opportunities.

Option 2, equal rights for men and women, may be a valid demand and an important issue, but it was not the main demand of the Shahbag Protests. The protests primarily aimed at seeking justice for the crimes committed during the Bangladesh Liberation War.

Option 4, the introduction of Urdu and Arabic languages as compulsory subjects in primary education, is unrelated to the main demand of the protests. The protests primarily focused on the punishment for war crimes.

Therefore, option 3, capital punishment for those convicted of crimes against humanity during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, is the correct answer.
