Bangladesh experienced arson and crude bomb attacks preceding a crucial International Crimes Tribunal verdict against deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday. Dhaka transformed into a fortress with massive police and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) deployments after Hasina's Awami League called for a citywide lockdown. The violence evoked memories of 2024's turbulent student protests that killed over 500 people. Security was significantly heightened around the International Crimes Tribunal, which will schedule its verdict date in the crimes against humanity case against Hasina and her senior associates. The unrest reflects Bangladesh's continued political instability following Hasina's removal from power, with tensions escalating ahead of the high-stakes judicial proceedings.
