Bangladesh's new leader wants former PM back from India after mass protests
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
