Hasina, 78, is being tried in absentia on charges of crimes against humanity for allegedly ordering a deadly crackdown on student protests in mid-2024. She denies any wrongdoing and has remained in India since fleeing there following its ouster in August last year.
The Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner has instructed officers to open fire on anyone involved in arson or attempts to cause death by throwing homemade bombs, local media reported.
Security has been tightened across Dhaka, Hasina’s ancestral home and her party’s stronghold in Gopalganj and in two neighboring districts.Bangladesh Border Guard personnel were deployed to reinforce local authorities.
Police teams and Rapid Action Battalions have been deployed around major government buildings and major road intersections, making parts of the capital feel eerily quiet.
In the days leading up to the verdict, authorities recorded more than 30 homemade bomb explosions and reported dozens of buses being burned in Dhaka and several other districts.
Dozens of Awami League activists have also been arrested in recent days for their alleged involvement in blasts and acts of sabotage.
