Bangladesh: Student protesters call for Nobel laureate to advise government as they prepare to meet military
Tuesday, 6 August 2024 Student leaders in Bangladesh have called for the formation of a new interim government with Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus as its chief adviser, as protest coordinators are set to meet the country's army chief on Tuesday morning.
Bangladesh student protest leaders say they want Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus to lead an interim government, a day after the military took control as mass demonstrations forced longtime ruler Sheikh Hasina to flee the country.
Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been sentenced to six months in jail by the International Crimes Tribunal for contempt of court. The verdict comes after a leaked audio call revealed Hasina allegedly mocking the judiciary and referencing a “license to kill” 227 people during the 2024 protests. The sentencing marks the first official ruling since her ouster and escape last year following mass student-led demonstrations. Former student leader Shamil Bulbul was also sentenced to two months. Defense lawyers call the charges politically motivated, while prosecutors hint at more charges to come.

Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus claims he asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to block Sheikh Hasina’s online speeches — but Modi refused, saying, “It’s social media, you can’t control it.”
Yunus, who now leads Bangladesh after Hasina’s ouster, made this revelation during a talk at Chatham House in London.
As Hasina continues to address the Bangladeshi public from India, tensions rise, with Yunus accusing her of stirring unrest.
Meanwhile, Yunus’ own anti-India remarks and outreach to China have alarmed New Delhi.
Is Bangladesh heading into deeper turmoil? And is India taking a firm stand on digital freedom?
