On tonight’s APEX Express, we spotlight the historic student protests in Bangladesh. This South Asian country has been witness to rising tensions and protests in recent months. Large demonstrations forced Hasina to flee to India in August this year, and an interim government led by Nobel Peace Prize winning economist Muhammad Yunus took charge.

What is the significance of these student-led protests? Listen to key reflections and perspectives by Bangladeshi diaspora in the bay area. Dr. Ahmed Badruzzaman from the Bangladesh Environmental Network and UC Berkeley and veteran feminist social justice activist Zakia Afrin share their views, thoughts and hopes for the future and well being of Bangladesh.
