Bangladesh banned the student wing of ousted premier Sheikh Hasina's party on Thursday, citing its involvement in violent attacks on student protests that toppled the autocratic leader in August.







"The Bangladesh government has banned the Bangladesh Chhatra League -- the student wing of the Bangladesh Awami League -- under the Anti-Terrorism Act," an official statement said.
