Violence Erupts in Bangladesh Following Death of Youth Leader
Following the death of youth protest leader Sharif Osman Hadi, violence has erupted in Bangladesh. Hadi, a prominent figure in the movement that ousted the former Prime Minister, was shot by masked attackers and died in Singapore. His death, which occurred shortly after the announcement of the next elections, sparked protests that led to the vandalism of newspaper offices and the deployment of troops. The interim government has declared a day of national mourning and is facing pressure to bring the perpetrators to justice.
