At least four people, including a child, died in a suspected arson attack on a passenger train, police said on Saturday, the eve of a general election that the main opposition party is boycotting. In addition to the deaths, eight were injured when fire spread to four compartments of the Dhaka-bound Benapole Express around 9 p.m. (1500 GMT) on Friday. The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), boycotting for the second time in three elections, calls the polls a ploy by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's Awami League to legitimise a sham vote that will deliver her party a fourth straight term. Hasina, refusing BNP demands to resign and cede power to a neutral authority to run the election, accuses the opposition party of instigating anti-government protests that have rocked Dhaka since late October and killed at least 10 people in the South Asian country. Last month protesters set a train ablaze, killing four people during a countrywide strike called by the opposition. Senior BNP official Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said Friday's incident on the Benapole Express was "undoubtedly an act of sabotage and cruelty against humanity", blaming the ruling party for it. Awami League party leaders were not immediately available for comment.

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump issued a clarion call for justice on behalf of the relatives, friends, and close associates of 215 people buried in the pauper’s cemetery behind the Hinds County jail in Raymond without notification of their relatives and close associates. On Wednesday, December 28, the Hinds County Coroner released the full list of 672 bodies buried in the Pauper’s Field covering the years 2008-2023. Documents obtained by NBC News presented a list of 215 burials between the years 2016-2023 where no notification was given to the decedents’ families. The name, age, race, birth and death dates were included for all 672 listed in the coroner’s records. In many cases, burials were consigned to Pauper’s Field because the families could not pay the costs of burial services. Attorneys Crump and Dennis Sweet of Jackson called for a full review of all 672 cases Wednesday. Gretchen Hankins of Florence reported that her son, Jonathan, 39, left her house on May 20, 2022, after one of his routine visits there.
