Dhaka security crackdown ahead of Bangladesh elections

Bangladesh security forces dispersed protesters in Dhaka ahead of crucial February 12 general elections, injuring at least 23 and triggering debate over the use of force.

Ahead of Bangladesh’s high‑stakes general elections on February 12, 2026, security forces in Dhaka dispersed a protest organized by Inqilab Manch demanding justice for Osman Hadi, injuring at least 23 demonstrators. The Interim Government, led by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus, denied using gunfire or lethal weapons, stating police acted lawfully with regulated crowd‑control measures. Protesters were demanding accountability for Hadi’s killing in December 2025, an incident that had previously sparked nationwide unrest and attacks on media and political sites. The government reaffirmed that public gatherings near the State Guest House Jamuna remain prohibited to protect the Chief Adviser and maintain order. Authorities also pledged to review the possibility of a UN‑assisted investigation into Hadi’s death, underscoring tensions between civic demands for justice and the state’s efforts to contain pre‑poll instability.
