Jubilant scenes but bumpy road ahead in post-Hasina Bangladesh
Post-Hasina Bangladesh marks anniversary with jubilant scenes but faces challenges ahead. Rights groups warn of lynching, religious extremism, and mob violence threatening the country's path to democracy. Despite progress in stabilizing the economy, concerns linger over growing Islamist influence and a lack of thorough investigations into past injustices. The interim government faces criticism over treatment of women's rights activists and supporters of the former prime minister as the nation navigates a bumpy road towards stability and accountability.
