The verdict first set off wild scenes of jubilation in Shahbag square, in the capital, Dhaka, where hundreds of thousands of people have been agitating for weeks in favour of executing Islamist politicians on trial for war crimes.
But clashes erupted when backers of Jamaat-e-Islami protested at the verdict. At least 14 demonstrators were shot dead by security forces across the country in the afternoon. Two policemen and a ruling party activist were also killed.
The police defended their actions, saying they acted to maintain law and order.
Protesters also set fire to a Hindu temple and houses in Noakhali district, south of Dhaka, news agencies said. In the town of Cox's Bazar, a police camp was attacked.
