Leaked report claims US funded efforts to oust Bangladesh's Sheikh Hasina in 2023

A leaked 2020 report claims the U.S. funded efforts to oust former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, leading to her government's collapse in August 2023. The report cites over 170 activists cooperating to destabilize Bangladesh's politics. Following violent protests, Bangladesh's interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, has called for peace and law restoration. Mobs have attacked properties linked to Hasina and her party, the Awami League, amid escalating violence. The interim government attributes the unrest to Hasina's "provocative" speech and urges citizens to respect the law. They acknowledge the activists' anger but emphasize the need for order in the country.
