Demands for justice as mass protests return to Bangladesh

Mass protests have erupted in Bangladesh following the death of Hadi, a prominent student movement leader, on Thursday, December 19, 2025. Hadi was shot in Dhaka last week and subsequently died in a Singapore hospital. Demonstrators are expressing outrage, burning and ransacking buildings in response to Hadi's death. The protests are fueled by accusations against India, who demonstrators believe are responsible for the shooting. The protests are demanding justice for Hadi's death.
