A Clashes between Bangladeshi police and opposition activists left one man dead and injured about 20 on Wednesday in the second day of a nationwide general strike, television stations reported.
Police used night sticks and tear gas as dozens of protesters tried to march into the streets of Dhaka’s southern Jatrabari suburb, according to Dhaka’s private Somoy TV and RTV. Police officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
On Tuesday, opposition activists exploded crude bombs, blocked roads and burned vehicles to enforce a 48-hour nationwide general strike, injuring dozens of people.
Bangladesh’s largest Islamic party, Jamaat-e-Islami, called the strike to denounce a court decision that its registration with the Election Commission is invalid.
