I didn't issue order: Sheikh Hasina on killings of 2024 protesters
Bangladesh's ousted PM Sheikh Hasina has strongly denied allegations that she ordered the use of live ammunition during the 2024 protests. The crackdown left more than 1,400 people dead, according to the UN. "The claim that I directed security forces to open fire on crowds is completely false. At no time did I issue such an order," Hasina told Firstpost.
