Bangladesh's chief justice quits under pressure as interim govt takes helm
Bangladesh’s Chief Justice Obaidul Hassan resigned Saturday following new protests by a group of students and other demonstrators, as the country’s interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus started functioning days after a mass uprising forced Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign and flee to India. Mass protests over the past weeks have left more than 450 dead and many more injured.
