 LONDON (AP) - Bangladesh's former prime minister was blocked from boarding a flight home from London on Sunday after her country's military-backed interim government banned her from returning.
Sheikh Hasina had vowed to go home from a private trip abroad to fight charges of corruption and abetting the murder of four protesters during riots. But last week, the Bangladesh government barred her return and asked airlines not to allow her on any flight to the country.
"This is my country and I don't understand why they should stop me," Hasina told AP Television News after British Airways denied her a boarding pass at London's Heathrow Airport.
