Breaking News: Sheikh Hasina Sentenced to Death in Bangladesh
Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been sentenced to death by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) in Dhaka for crimes against humanity. The verdict was announced 58 minutes ago.
Sheikh Hasina was found guilty of allowing lethal force to be used against protesters, resulting in the deaths of 1,400 people during the unrest last year. The trial was held in absentia, as Hasina has been in exile in India since her ousting in July 2024.
The verdict marks a pivotal moment for Bangladesh, vindicating the student-led protests that led to Hasina's ousting. The protests were sparked by years of repression under her rule.
The current status of the situation is unclear, but it is expected that the verdict will have significant implications for the country's politics. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
Sheikh Hasina has denied all charges, calling the trial "biased and politically motivated." The families of those killed or injured during the protests have called for tough penalties.
