On August 5th Sheikh Hasina, the prime minister of Bangladesh, fled the country she has ruled with an increasingly harsh grip since 2009. She was driven out by a vast display of people power on the streets of Dhaka, the capital, and will be replaced by a caretaker government, backed by the army and led by Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel peace laureate. Like him, many Bangladeshis are calling it a “second liberation”, half a century after independence.
During her last hours, former Bangladesh PM Hasina Wajid wanted Indian military intervention to disperse protestors as Bangladesh military had refused to "beat up" protestors.
Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has declared there is "a lot of work to be done" in Bangladesh, as he arrived in the country to take over as interim leader.
Brigadier General Azmi, Barrister Mir Ahmad, Michael Chakma, and Ayanaghar.
Question is, under which law or by what authority did Dictator Sheikh Hasina keep these three individuals imprisoned for years in a cursed secret prison called Ayanaghar? Deprived of any legal counsel, completely isolated from their family, and considered disappeared by the world, the precious time lost from these individuals' lives and the inhumane, unjust detention they suffered for years without any crime—will Hasina ever be able to provide an acceptable answer for this?
Many are still missing, but surely we have some idea where they might be held. I urge the security forces to release them all immediately and inform the families of those who have already been murdered.
Each and everyperson, including Sheikh Hasina, who aided in the illegal imprisonment and murder of these unfortunate people, will be identified and brought to justice. No matter which country you seek refuge in, I will personally ensure that you are found and brought to justice.

Mr. Sinha stop spreading lies.
No attack on the Hindus has been reported. Whereas the Hindus are thanking the Muslims for protecting the Hindu Temples.
Our media has no such reports but you are dishing out one lie after another which tells about your dirty intentions.
We have earned freedom with the help of our Hindu, Christian, Buddhists and bothers and sisters of other religions.
Take care of the people of your countries and the human rights violations your govt has committed.
