DHAKA: Bangladesh’s general election campaign ended on Friday with more deadly violence and arrests of opposition activists which have raised international concern as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina seeks a record fourth term.


A ruling Awami League party supporter was killed by opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party followers, police said. The BNP claimed 19 more of its activists had been detained ahead of Sunday’s vote.
