Bangladesh rioters stormed parliament on Monday as the Prime Minister fled in a helicopter to India while reportedly planning to seek asylum in the UK.
The chaos came just hours after the bloodiest day of the clashes so far, in which at least 90 demonstrators were killed on Sunday. It has been the worst violence the South Asian country has seen since it came into being in 1971 and saw Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina flee the country.
