Ousted Hasina wants to seek asylum in UK
BANGLADESH Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has fled the country after weeks of violent protests that have left almost 300 people dead.
Shortly after Hasina, 76, fled yesterday with her sister, her palace in Dhaka was stormed and looted by rioters who had ignored a military curfew to march in the capital.
Asian media reported that Hasina had flown by military helicopter to India, but was heading for the UK to seek asylum. Her sister Rehana was said to have UK citizenship already.
As news spread that Hasina had resigned after 15 years in power, thousands of protesters celebrated in the capital, waving Bangladeshi flags.
