Bangladesh is experiencing unrest after the death of Sharif Osman Hadi, a prominent youth leader of the 2024 uprising and election candidate. Hadi was shot in Dhaka last Friday and died in Singapore after being on life support. Security forces have deployed across Dhaka and other major cities following violent protests that targeted media offices and political buildings. The protests were triggered by Hadi's death, with student leaders calling for continued demonstrations until his killers are found. Tensions remain high, particularly before Friday prayers, raising concerns about further instability ahead of the upcoming national elections in February. Police speculate the killer may have escaped to India.
