Bangladesh: Sheikh Hasina fought for democracy in Bangladesh, critics say she threatens it| Oneindia

In 2007, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh, then serving as the opposition leader, faced a dramatic turn of events when hundreds of troops raided her home.

She was subsequently taken to a court in the capital, Dhaka, and arrested on extortion charges.

Denouncing the charges as a conspiracy to thwart her participation in upcoming polls, Hasina, who had previously served as prime minister from 1996 to 2001, asserted she was fighting for the rights of her people in Bangladesh under a state of emergency enforced by a military-backed interim government.
