Student killed in Bangladesh protest crackdown
At least one person has died after security forces and opposition activists clashed in Bangladesh’s capital, as thousands of police took to the streets to foil a mass rally calling on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to cancel upcoming elections.
Sheikh Hasina’s rival, former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, is expected to address the rally in Dhaka later on Sunday in defiance of a government ban on large political gatherings.
