Sheikh Hasina Sentenced Death: Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal have been sentenced to death by the Dhaka-based International Criminal Tribunal. The court has sentenced him to death after finding him guilty of crimes against humanity. Korn has admitted that Sheikh Hasina had opened fire on unarmed people during the protest in August last year.
The Tribunal Court accepted that in order to calm down the student protest in August 2024, the protesters were attacked with drones and helicopters. After the protests turned violent, Sheikh Hasina resigned and came to India. Since then she has been living in India.
Order to fire on protesters
There is an atmosphere of tension in Bangladesh after the decision of the tribunal court. The court has already made tight security arrangements. Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) personnel have been deployed in four districts including Dhaka. Police in Dhaka have been ordered to open fire on violent protesters as tensions rise over the law and order situation ahead of Monday’s verdict. After the court’s decision, there is a fear of rioting by supporters of Sheikh Hasina’s party Awami League. This decision is a very big decision in the politics of Bangladesh.
