Authorities in Bangladesh have detained a key opposition figure from the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, which called for a nationwide strike following a day of violent clashes with security forces.
Activists of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party participate in a protest in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023. Police in Bangladesh's capital fired tear gas to disperse supporters of the main opposition party who threw stones at security officials during a rally demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the transfer of power to a non-partisan caretaker government to oversee general elections next year.
Hossain also said that 1,300 people were being investigated for Saturday's violence. Local reports said police had raided the homes of several opposition leaders overnight in Dhaka. The European Union and the United States urged all sides to maintain restraint as tensions soared ahead of the national elections, expected to be held in January.
Critics and rights groups have criticized Hasina's administration for suppressing opposition voices, an allegation authorities have denied.
