One year on and there is no doubt the government has begun the work it set itself: two former prime ministers are in jail awaiting trial, hundreds of other senior officials have been arrested, and the slow if important work of overhauling some of Bangladesh's broken state bodies is underway...

...decision to try and have the two suspects extradited without a trial was also criticized by the Organisation of Islamic Faith in Denmark. In a statement, the community said it feared protests by Muslims in Denmark if the two men were sent back to Tunisia. "We have been able to exert a certain form of control [during the last crisis]. We are afraid we will lose this control if this form of oppressive acts does not stop," the release said...
