In Dhaka, thousands turn out to support the Bangladesh National Party.
Leftist groups prepare to demonstrate against the JI leader’s release.
On Wednesday, there were at least six protests in Dhaka.

Since Sheikh Hasina, the former prime leader, was overthrown in August 2024 and fled by helicopter when demonstrators stormed her palace, the 170 million-person South Asian nation has been in political instability.
Before the student-led movement led an uprising that overthrew Hasina’s 15-year autocratic government, protests were suppressed like a pressure cooker.
