Bangladesh Protest: Bangladesh’s two leading newspapers, Prothom Alo and The Daily Star, came under violent and coordinated attacks late Thursday night following the spread of news about the death of youth leader Sharif Osman Hadi. Organised groups of attackers vandalised, looted, and set fire to the newspaper offices in Dhaka, forcing both publications to suspend print and digital operations temporarily.
The Prothom Alo office in Karwan Bazar was surrounded by attackers who carried out widespread destruction. Furniture, office equipment, documents, and other materials were damaged or looted before parts of the building were set on fire. At the same time, The Daily Star’s office on Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue was also attacked, vandalised, and later burned.
The attackers reportedly looted more than 150 computers and laptops, along with cash, lockers, and personal belongings from the Prothom Alo office.
