Bangladesh Chief Justice Resigns After Ultimatum From Student Protesters | Read
The chief justice of Bangladesh's top court agreed to resign "in principle" following intense pressure from protesters surrounding the Supreme Court, broadcaster Jamuna TV reported.
Hassan, appointed last year and seen as a loyalist to ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, faced an ultimatum from demonstrators demanding his resignation. The protests, part of the wider unrest that led to Hasina's departure, have resulted in over 450 deaths, including dozens of police officers.
