Authorities in Bangladesh detained a key opposition figure of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party which called for a nationwide strike.

Activists of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party participate in a protest in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023. Police in Bangladesh’s capital fired tear gas to disperse supporters of the main opposition party who threw stones at security officials during a rally demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the transfer of power to a non-partisan caretaker government to oversee general elections next year.

Sporadic violence was witnessed Sunday with at least three vehicles set on fire in the capital amid tight security. The U.S. assistant secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, Donald Lu, called for calm and restraint saying they “will review all violent incidents for possible visa restrictions.”
