The International Crimes Tribunal in Bangladesh has issued an arrest warrant for former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is currently in India. The warrant cites her alleged involvement in mass killings during violent protests earlier this year.
The protests initially started as a student-led movement against public sector job quotas but quickly escalated into some of the deadliest unrest since the country's independence in 1971. The violence resulted in over 700 deaths and numerous injuries, prompting Hasina to flee to India on August 5.
