People gather in front of a bus burnt by activists of Bangladesh nationalist Party (BNP) in Dhaka on Tuesday, July 5. At least five buses and a van have been set ablaze in Dhaka on the eve of the 48-hour countrywide strike called by the main opposition BNP and its ally Jamaat-e-Islami, a radical Islamist group. The strike is part of their bid to oust Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from power and force an early election.
