Sheikh Hasina: Bangladesh's Iron Lady Facing Protests
Bangladesh's Controversial PM Deploys Paramilitary Unit
Protesters Demand Mass March on Prime Minister's Residence
Born on September 28, 1947, Sheikh Hasina has become a polarizing figure in Bangladesh. The 76-year-old politician, now in her fourth term as Prime Minister, has faced increasing scrutiny and protests over her authoritarian rule.
Hasina has deployed a feared paramilitary unit onto the streets, whose leaders have been accused of human rights violations. This move has sparked outrage among protesters, who are calling for a mass march on the Prime Minister's residence on Monday.
Despite winning a controversial election in 2018, securing her fourth straight term, Hasina's government has been plagued by allegations of corruption and suppression of dissent. Once hailed as a champion of democracy, Hasina's long reign has been marred by her increasingly autocratic rule.
