Death for 7 Sheikh Hasina Leaders
The Bangladesh court issued a death sentence in absentia to seven leaders of the Awami League, including two former ministers, on charges of committing crimes against humanity during the 2024 uprising that resulted in nearly 1,400 deaths. The verdict accused them of acts such as murder and inciting violence during the government's attempt to suppress student-led protests, which led Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to flee to India. The court also ordered compensation for the victims' families, while Hasina refuses to acknowledge the court's authority and plans to return to Bangladesh in December 2023 despite the sentences against her.
