Police said the two protesters died in clashes with security forces in the southern Chittagong district.
Violence ensued after police tried to remove barriers that had been erected by supporters of the Jamaat-e-Islami party on a main highway.
Police said a number of passenger buses were also vandalized in the area located 340 kilometres south-east of the capital, Dhaka.
Protesters also damaged a temple and set fire to homes belonging to minority Hindus in the south-western Bagerhat district.
42 killed in Bangladesh clashes between police and Islamic activists
Bangladesh violence death toll Friday rose to 42 after fierce clashes between activists of an Islamic party and law enforcers following a war-crime trial verdict.
According to local news agency UNB, 42 people were dead and dozens injured in about a dozen districts of Bangladesh.
But it was not known whether all the victims were engaged in party politics.
To thwart any further untoward incident, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel have reportedly been deployed in violence-hit Bangladesh cities and towns.
BGB personnel will mainly patrol some important areas in the capital city from Thursday night.
Clashes, arson, vandalism and detention have also been reported in parts of capital Dhaka and elsewhere in the country since Thursday.
Most of the deaths were reported in the incidents of violence erupted soon after the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT)-1 pronounced the verdict Thursday afternoon on a crime against humanity case, awarding death sentence to Delwar Hossain Sayeedi, believed to be the second-most important leader of Jamaat.
About 73-year old Sayeedi, considered a world famous orator on Islam and comparative religion, was indicted in October 2011 with 20 charges of crimes against humanity including looting, killing, arson, rape and forcefully converting people into Muslims during the war.
Jamaat says Sayeedi is the victim of a political vendetta.
