Workers halt and wind up Lalon Mela festival preparations celebrated in honour of the Bengali social reformer Lalon Shah, at the Muktidham Ashram and Lalon Academy premises in Narayanganj on November 22, 2024 following the cancellation of the festival due to Islamist threats. A Bangladeshi mystic sect promoting religious tolerance has cancelled their popular music festival after Islamist threats, the latest victim of turbulent religious relations since a student-led August revolution. The overthrow of long-time autocratic prime minister Sheikh Hasina has seen a spate of protests in Muslim-majority Bangladesh, including a surge in Islamist groups emboldened to take to the streets after years of being suppressed.

A sign showing the way to a polling station is seen next to a Christmas tree inside the Basel Town Hall (Basler Rathaus) in Basel, northern Switzerland, on November 24, 2024. Citizens of Basel are voting whether the city's taxpayers should finance hosting the next Eurovision Song Contest after Swiss singer Nemo won in 2024. But the small, ultra-conservative, Christian fundamentalist Federal Democratic Union of Switzerland party garnered enough signatures to secure a referendum on whether the 34.96 million Swiss francs ($39.5 million) approved by regional authorities for the show should be granted.
