Violent Clashes in Bangladesh Leave Several Dead Amid Political Turmoil

Deadly violence erupted on July 16 in Gopalganj, Bangladesh, during a rally by the youth-led National Citizen Party (NCP). Clashes between pro‑Hasina Awami League supporters and security forces resulted in several deaths, dozens of injuries, and a strict curfew. The unrest reflects deep political divisions following the former prime minister’s ouster last year and comes amid rising tensions under the interim government.
