History

Sheikh Hasina has been the prime minister of Bangladesh since 2009. Her early credentials as a pioneer of democracy have been tainted by election fraud, and a spate of extrajudicial killings and torture. My guest for this episode was Tasneem Khalil (@tasneem on Twitter), a Bangladeshi journalist who was forced to leave his country after being imprisoned by the Bangladeshi authorities in 2007. He is Editor in Chief of Netra News.
