[GEO.TV] A Bangladesh government-appointed commission investigating hundreds of disappearances by the security forces under ousted premier the loathesome Sheikh Hasina
...Bangla dynastic politician and now exiled former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She was President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections.

"Alarmingly, this culture of impunity continues even after the regime change on August 5, 2024".
