Violent clashes erupt as Bangladesh opposition demands fair election oversight
Supporters of Bangladesh's main opposition party clashed with police in Dhaka during anti-government protests demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the transfer of power to a non-party caretaker government until the next general election. The opposition party accuses Hasina of vote rigging in 2018 and is protesting over who should oversee the upcoming election. Police arrested at least 90 opposition activists, while the party claims over 100 activists were injured and 124 members were arrested. The ruling party and opposition both held separate rallies, and international entities have called for restraint and a credible election process.
