Sheikh Hasina Faces Multiple Legal Challenges

Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina faces multiple legal challenges following her ouster on August 5, amid violent student-led protests. She and several top officials are accused in cases including murder, enforced disappearance, and responsibility for protest deaths. The International Crimes Tribunal will probe her role in the killings during the protests, while separate murder cases involve the deaths of a grocery shop owner and a student. Hasina has denied responsibility, attributing the violence to the protestors' actions. An interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus is overseeing the transition, with ongoing unrest and international concerns about the treatment of minority communities in Bangladesh.
