Bangladesh’s Chief Justice Obaidul Hassan resigned on August 10, 2024, following massive protests by students in Dhaka. The demonstrations, which erupted after the recent quota protests, saw over 400 lives lost and led to the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Hassan, considered a loyalist of Hasina, faced intense pressure as protesters surrounded the Supreme Court, giving him an ultimatum to step down. The country is currently under an interim government, with ongoing unrest and fears of further violence against minorities.
