Anger in the air: Students shouting slogans during a protest demanding the trial of Hasina in Dhaka. Hasina’s statement, issued on X through her son, came hours after a court ordered a probe into her role in the death of a grocery shop owner during the protests. — AP
Former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina called for action against those involved in “killings and vandalism” in the country last month, her first comments since violent protests forced her to flee to India.
Around 300 people died in the demonstrations that began as protests against employment quotas but spiralled into a movement seeking Hasina’s overthrow.
