Sheikh Hasina is facing a verdict next Monday in her trial for alleged crimes against humanity linked to the mid-2024 student protest crackdown, while she remains in exile in India. Ahead of the ruling, urban unrest has surged in Dhaka: over 30 crude bomb explosions and several bus arson attacks were reported on November 12 alone. Authorities have massively stepped up security—deploying paramilitary units, tightening checkpoints and restricting public gatherings—to prevent escalation of violence during this politically sensitive moment.
