It is already known that Bangladesh witnessed severe unrest last year during the widespread protests against the Sheikh Hasina administration. The student-led uprising turned extremely violent, resulting in large-scale chaos across the country and the loss of hundreds of lives. In the aftermath, then–Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled Bangladesh and sought political refuge in Delhi. Since her ouster, she has remained in India and has not returned to Bangladesh.
Now, in a major development, a special tribunal court in Bangladesh has delivered its verdict in the case related to Sheikh Hasina. The judgment has come as a significant and shocking update. The court has sentenced the former Prime Minister to the death penalty. This verdict was issued in absentia, as she continues to stay in exile in India.
According to the court, Sheikh Hasina has been convicted on charges of crimes against humanity, linked to the intense 36-day student-driven protests that took place between July and August 2024—an unrest that ultimately led to her removal from power. Reports estimated that nearly 1,400 people may have lost their lives during the crackdown allegedly carried out under her orders.
With the tribunal pronouncing the death sentence, the next question is what happens when or if Sheikh Hasina returns to Bangladesh. It now remains to be seen whether the verdict will be enforced, challenged, or altered through future legal or political developments.
