Journalist Anis Alamgir sent to jail in anti-terrorism case
DHAKA, Dec 20, 2025 (BSS) - A Dhaka court today ordered journalist Anis Alamgir to be sent to jail in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act with Uttara West Police Station. Police produced Anis Alamgir before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court of Dhaka after completion of his five-day remand and sought his detention in jail until the investigation is completed.  After hearing, Metropolitan Magistrate Hasan Shahadat passed the order sending him to jail. Earlier, Anis Alamgir was taken into custody by the Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police on Sunday night after he came out of a gym on Road No. 2 in the capital's Dhanmondi area.  On December 15, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Joshita Islam granted a five-day remand for him in the case. The case was filed on December 14 at Uttara West Police Station by Arian Ahmed, a central organiser of the July Revolutionary Alliance, under the Anti-Terrorism Act against actress Meher Afroz Shaon and four others. The other accused include fashion model Maria Kispatta and presenter Imtu Ratish Imtiaz. According to the case statement, although former prime minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country following the anti-discrimination student movement in July 2024, her followers allegedly remained in hiding and continued to conspire to destabilise the country and damage its infrastructure by committing anti-state activities.  It is alleged that since August 5, 2024, the accused have been spreading rumours through social media and television talk shows in an attempt to revive banned organisations and rehabilitate the Awami League. The complaint further alleges that various posts made by the accused on social media have encouraged activists of the banned organisations Chhatra League and Jubo League to engage in conspiracies, terrorist activities and anti-state crimes.

Bolivians protest fuel price hikes after subsidies cut
Bolivians protest fuel price hikes after subsidies cut
LA PAZ, Dec 20, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Bolivians protesting a doubling in fuel prices caused by an end to two decades of state subsidies brought traffic to a standstill Friday in cities nationwide. The country's new center-right president Rodrigo Paz on Wednesday announced an end to the subsidies used by leftist governments to freeze fuel prices for 20 years. The move is part of a package of reforms announced by Paz to end a deep economic crisis, blamed partly on the billions of dollars spent annually to keep fuel cheap. The fuel price increases, which took effect on Thursday, caused fares for buses -- the main mode of transport in the Andean country -- to double. Bus drivers took to the streets of the administrative capital La Paz, satellite city of El Alto and eastern economic hub of Santa Cruz to demand the subsidies be reinstated. They were joined in La Paz by traders, who said the fuel hikes were making their goods too expensive for customers. "For us, there is no Christmas anymore," Paulina Tancara, a 74-year-old small-business owner, told AFP, expressing her disappointment with Paz, whom she backed in the two-round August-October elections. Bolivia is experiencing a severe shortage of the foreign currency needed to import fuel and other essentials. Annual inflation rose to nearly 20 percent in November. Previous attempts to eliminate the country's cherished fuel subsidies have however encountered stiff resistance. Apart from transport workers and traders, other sectors have announced protests over the fuel increases. One mining union has declared an indefinite strike, and on Monday coca growers led by former socialist president Evo Morales will march on the central city of Cochabamba. Morales, who served three terms as president between 2006 and 2019, had attempted to stand again in this year's election but was barred by constitutional term limits.

Armed conflict in Venezuela would be 'humanitarian catastrophe': Lula
FOZ DO IGUA€U, Brazil, Dec 20, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Saturday that US military action in Venezuela would spark a "humanitarian catastrophe," as he opened a summit of the South American Mercosur bloc. Lula's comments come amid spiraling tensions between Washington and Caracas -- and after US President Donald Trump left open the possibility of war against the government of Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro. The US military has beefed up its presence in the Caribbean in recent months and carried out air strikes against alleged drug boats in the region and in the Pacific, claiming that it is combatting narcotics trafficking. But Maduro says the campaign is part of a wider effort to carry out regime change in Caracas. "Four decades after the Falklands war, the South American continent is once again haunted by the military presence" of a foreign power, Lula said in the southern city of Foz do Iguacu, referring to the 1982 UK-Argentina conflict over disputed islands in the South Atlantic. "An armed intervention in Venezuela would be a humanitarian catastrophe for the hemisphere and a dangerous precedent for the world," he said. In an interview with NBC News conducted Thursday, when asked about the potential for war, Trump replied: "I don't rule it out, no." On Thursday, Lula said he was "very worried" about the mounting crisis on Brazil's doorstep and was prepared to serve as a mediator to avert armed conflict. The 80-year-old leftist said he had told Trump that "things wouldn't be resolved by shooting, that it was better to sit down around a table to find a solution." At least 104 people have been killed in the US strikes on alleged drug boats, though the Trump administration has not yet provided any concrete evidence that the boats it has targeted were ferrying drugs. The US government has accused Maduro of leading the "Cartel of the Suns" -- a charge he denies. Trump has also announced a blockade on oil tankers under sanctions that are leaving or arriving in Venezuela.
