On Saturday, the United States condemned the political violence surrounding the Dhaka rally of the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party and implored all parties to remain calm. Saturday evening, the US embassy in Dhaka issued the call in a statement posted to its verified page on X, formerly Twitter.

The reported killing of a police officer, a political activist, and the burning of a hospital are unacceptable. AS is against civilians, including journalists,’ read US embassy the statement.
