The disappearance of at least 700 opposition members in Bangladesh over the past 15 years under former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina may be linked to a secret prison called the House of Mirrors, the New York Times reports.

The Bangladesh Armed Forces have allowed female officers, soldiers and medical personnel to wear the hijab in line with their military dress code. The army leadership hopes that the new policy will encourage women to join the Bangladesh Armed Forces.

Bangladesh's interim government has decided to give army officers special jurisdiction over the country for the next 60 days. It was noted that these powers were given to the army due to the fact that the police structure is not yet fully performing its duties, as well as the subversive actions that occur from time to time.

Touhid Hussain, Foreign Affairs Adviser of the Interim Government of Bangladesh, announced that about 8,000 Rohingya Muslims who fled the conflicts in Myanmar's Rakhine state have arrived in Bangladesh. "The country is unable to provide humanitarian asylum to more refugees and cannot accept any more Rohingya Muslims," he said.

An example of this is the turmoil in Bangladesh, one of the strongest countries in Asia, which has been developing strongly until recently. Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed, daughter of the country's founder and "father of the nation" Mujibur Rahman, has resigned and left the country after weeks of student-led protests turned deadly and into nationwide riots. The 76-year-old politician reportedly fled to India by helicopter and sought political asylum in the UK.

The number of people killed due to floods, landslides and river overflows due to monsoon rains in Bangladesh has reached 27 people, 2 people are missing. About 5.6 million people across the country were affected by the consequences of rainfall, and 35 thousand livestock were moved to safe areas.

India's opening of the dam caused large areas of Bangladesh to flood, creating a humanitarian crisis. This is said to be in response to recent attacks on Hindus in a neighboring country. In total, heavy rains and floods affected 4.5 million people in Bangladesh, and 13 people died in the last three days.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus, 84, a longtime opponent of Hasina and known as the "banker of the poor," has been named head of Bangladesh's transitional government.

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled to neighboring India. The country continues to experience mass protests that have left hundreds dead. Chief of Army Staff General Waqer-Uz-Zaman announced the formation of the interim government.

In Bangladesh, 48 people were killed in protests organized to draw attention to the deaths of protesters who opposed the decision to allocate a quota to the civil service. An "indefinite curfew" was announced in the capital and some regions.
