Bangladesh's deposed premier Sheikh Hasina has launched a fierce attack on the interim administration, accusing its Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus of running a "fascist regime" that allows terrorists and fundamentalists to act without restraint.

In a virtual address to a gathering of overseas Awami League supporters in London on Sunday, Hasina accused Yunus of being July-August the "mastermind" behind the turmoil that ousted her government and vowed to bring him and his allies to justice under Bangladeshi law.

She criticised Yunus and his interim government for their alleged persecution of religious minorities in Bangladesh.
