A special tribunal in Bangladesh has issued a ban on the publication of any speeches made by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is currently in exile in India following her ouster in August after widespread protests. The decision was made in response to a request by government prosecutors to restrict the dissemination of Hasina's speeches on mainstream or social media platforms.
Hasina recently made her first public speech in a virtual address to supporters of her Awami League party in New York, where she accused Bangladesh's interim leader, Nobel peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, of failing to protect minorities, particularly Hindus, since her removal from office.
