(Political Conflict, Crime, Demonstrations, Terrorism)
Parliamentary Election: January 22, 2007
Bangladesh's army chief was summoned to the presidential palace on Monday following a day of renewed clashes between police and political activists two weeks before parliamentary elections. At least 50 people were injured and 30 detained on the second day of a transport blockade, called by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's multi-party alliance, which is boycotting the January 22 vote. Opposition activists in Bangladesh are expected to announce more street protests in the capital, Dhaka.
