Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, has been sentenced to death for her involvement in violent protests that resulted in the deaths of hundreds. The verdict was delivered after she was found guilty of crimes against humanity. Notably, Hasina was tried in her absence as she currently resides in exile in India. The court also convicted former inspector general of police, Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, who was present during the proceedings, and ex-interior minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, who has since gone into hiding. Both were found guilty of permitting the use of lethal force against protesters and failing to prevent the atrocities committed during the unrest. Hasina fled Bangladesh for India in August of the previous year, following widespread demonstrations that led to violent clashes between protesters and police. The protests, which resulted in a significant number of fatalities, sparked demands for government accountability and calls for Hasina to resign after nearly 15 years in power. The situation in Bangladesh has been tense, with the protests highlighting deep-seated issues within the government and its handling of dissent. The international community is closely monitoring the developments surrounding this case and the broader implications for human rights in the region.
