A human rights report by Odhikar reveals that 281 people have been killed in political violence in Bangladesh since Sheikh Hasina's fall in August 2024, with additional casualties from extrajudicial killings and mob justice. While human rights conditions have improved, law enforcement accountability remains problematic, and political extortion continues across major parties ahead of the 2026 elections.
