Bangladeshi student leader Nahid Islam demands trial for former PM Sheikh Hasina upon her return, citing killings during her tenure and recent protests.

Bangladeshi student leader Nahid Islam, who played a significant role in removing former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, now part of an interim government, has demanded that Hasina face a trial upon her return to Bangladesh due to the killings that occurred during her tenure, including recent protests that led to her resignation. Hasina's son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, acknowledges the support for Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, the interim head of the Bangladesh government, as possible evidence of foreign influence in the unrest. Joy claims that protesters distorted Sheikh Hasina's statement on Razakars, leading to the escalation of the protests, and suggests that some agencies were active online to further inflame the situation.
