Bangladeshʼs interim government plans to get former PM Sheikh Hasina back from India after she left during student protests. Nobel laureate **Muhammad Yunus** took charge and wants to investigate protest deaths

In a country-wide TV speech about his first hundred days as leader Muhammad Yunus declared that Bangladeshʼs temporary government will try to bring back ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from India (where she ran away during big student protests this summer)

The Nobel Peace Prize winner Yunus who became head of state on Aug 8th — just after Hasina left Bangladesh — talked about his plans to look into protest-related deaths. The former PMʼs 15-year control of the country ended when student-led demonstrations made her run away to India; now the new government wants to check whoʼs responsible for protestors deaths

The temporary administration — which took control after the mass demonstrations — is working on getting Hasina back through official channels: they plan to ask India for help with extradition process. The former leader had been running things since twenty-oh-nine but everything changed when students started protesting; making her leave the country in a hurry
