Bangladesh's interim government, led by Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus, is pushing for the extradition of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who has been in exile in India since fleeing a mass uprising.
Yunus has defended his administration's record and dismissed concerns about rising radicalism in the country.
The government is also pursuing legal action against several former ministers, accusing them of involvement in a 'massacre.' The political climate in Bangladesh remains tense as the government seeks to bring Hasina back to face trial.
.Here are the top political news stories for today.
Good for Bangladesh's government taking a firm stance here. If Hasina fled during an uprising, she should be held accountable and face the consequences. Strong leadership means not letting anyone, even a former PM, escape justice.
This sounds like another worrying example of a political crackdown on opposition leaders instead of addressing the real issues affecting the people.
