Bangladesh has issued an arrest warrant for the country’s former leader, Sheikh Hasina. The warrant was issued based on charges of crimes against humanity during a student-led uprising that began in July and lasted into August, prompting Hasina to flee the country. Host Carolyn Beeler speaks with Naomi Hossain, a professor at the School of African and Oriental Studies in the UK, about the arrest warrant, and for an update on how people in Bangladesh have been faring since Sheikh Hasina’s ouster earlier this year.
