Sheikh Hasina has been accused of ruling the South Asian nation with an iron fist.
DHAKA: Bangladesh’s main opposition party today said three more of its senior leaders had been arrested, after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ruled out talks with adversaries demanding her resignation.
Hundreds of senior cadres and supporters of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party have been arrested, with former commerce minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury among those taken into custody overnight. The latest arrests come just days after police detained Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, one of the BNP’s highest-ranked leaders.
Police have yet to comment on the latest arrests but said in an earlier statement that at least 2,113 people had been arrested over the past week on charges of violence during opposition protests.“Who would ask for talks with these beasts?” she said, in a speech that also accused her adversary Zia’s son of hiring killers to murder her.
