Bangladesh’s former prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, is facing a murder charge in connection with the death of a grocery store owner during violent protests that led to her government’s collapse. The case, filed by a well-wisher of the deceased, also implicates other high-ranking officials, including the Awami League General Secretary and former Home Minister. The protests, sparked by a controversial job quota system, resulted in over 230 deaths, bringing the total death toll since the unrest began in July to 560. Following Hasina’s resignation and flight to India, an interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has been formed, and political parties are engaging in discussions about the future of elections.

Idaho Judge John Judge has condemned the defense in the Bryan Kohberger case for distributing questionnaires to potential jurors that could potentially be ‘inculpatory’ to Latah County residents. Despite objections from prosecutors who argued that some questions violated a gag order, Judge ruled that the defense could continue its surveys, as the information in question had already been made public record. The defense, led by Kootenai County Public Defender Anne Taylor, maintained that the questions were necessary to support their motion for a change of venue, as they aimed to mitigate the effects of prejudicial pretrial publicity on Kohberger’s right to a fair trial.
