Blinded in Bangladesh protests, students hope for better future

Bangladeshi student Omar Faruq believes the future of his country is bright but all he can see is darkness, after police trying to crush a student-led revolution blinded him with rubber pellets.

Faruq is one of dozens being treated at the National Institute of Opthalmology and Hospital.

Many of them say their injuries are a small price to pay for the ouster of ex-premier Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India on August 5 ending her 15-year autocratic rule.
