Bangladesh braces for protests over former PM Sheikh Hasina's corruption trial, risking unrest and disruptions.

Bangladesh faces potential unrest as the Awami League, the former ruling party, has called for a nationwide shutdown to protest the ongoing trial of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is facing allegations of corruption and abuse of power. The protest, set for November 13, 2025, could lead to widespread transportation and business disruptions, with authorities preparing for possible clashes. The government has not yet confirmed whether the trial will proceed as planned amid rising tensions.
