Bangladesh condemns death for seven ex-leaders
A court in Bangladesh has sentenced seven former leaders of the ruling party to death in absentia, including two former ministers, for their involvement in suppressing the uprising that occurred in 2024 and resulted in the deaths of up to 1,400 people, according to the United Nations. These leaders from the Awami League were convicted of crimes against humanity, including murder and incitement to murder, following the end of the previous Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s term and her fleeing to India. The verdict comes as part of the current government's efforts to hold accountable those responsible for the deadly suppression during a period marked by widespread protests.
