TEHRAN, December 30 - More than a dozen people are reported to have been killed in election-related violence in Bangladesh.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - People across the country went to the polls on Sunday to decide whether to give Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina a third consecutive term, in an election seen as a referendum on what critics call Hasina's increasingly authoritarian tendencies.
The election campaign was marred by allegations from the opposition of arrests and jailing of thousands of opponents of Hasina, who promoted her development agenda to woo voters.
Bangladesh's leading English-language newspaper, the Daily Star, said 16 people were killed in 13 districts in election-related violence on Sunday.
