Bangladesh stops ex-leader's words from reaching public after harsh NY speech
Bangladesh court blocks sharing speeches by former Prime Minister who lives in India after summer protests pushed her out. Decision follows her online talk to US supporters with claims against new leader
In a quick move this dec‚ Bangladeshʼs special court blocked sharing any talks by Sheikh Hasina – the ex-prime minister who left the country bout 4 months ago during mass-protests (and now stays in India)
The courts decision came right after Hasina spoke online to her Awami League party friends in New-York: during this web-meeting she made strong statements about Muhammad Yunus – the temp leader with a Nobel peace prize. She blamed him for not helping hindu people and other small groups in the country
The ban shows how fast things change in Bangladeshʼs political scene – from Hasina being in charge to her words being blocked in just a few months time. The countrys current setup under Yunus leadership keeps tight control over what ex-leaders can say to people back home
