A Dhaka-based human rights organisation, Odhikar, reported that nearly 300 people have been killed in political violence in Bangladesh during the one year since the student-led protests led to the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August 2024. The report stated that at least 281 people were killed in violence involving political parties between August 2024 and September 2025. The group highlighted concerns over ongoing deaths in custody, bribery, and harassment of victims, despite some reported improvements in human rights adherence.
