Bangladeshi authorities have arrested three senior leaders of the main opposition party amid increasing tensions ahead of next year's elections, an official said Saturday.
Police detectives arrested Moudud Ahmed, M.K. Anwar and Rafiqul Islam Mia late Friday, hours after an alliance led by the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party announced its latest nationwide strike. The three-day strike is due to start Sunday morning to pressure the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to quit and appoint a caretaker to oversee the elections.
Police on Saturday also arrested Abdul Awal Mintoo, a prominent businessman who is tied to the main opposition party, and an aide of opposition leader Khaleda Zia.
