Sheikh Hasina Verdict | Lawyers Cheer As Ex-Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina Gets Death Penalty
Sheikh Hasina Verdict LIVE Updates: Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been sentenced to death for "crimes against humanity" committed during last year's student-led agitation that led to the fall of her Awami League government. Hasina, who is in exile, was tried in absentia. The Muhammad Yunus regime heightened security across Dhaka and other areas amid sporadic violence and crude bomb attacks ahead of the Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal's highly anticipated verdict. Sheikh Hasina had called the months-long trial a "jurisprudential joke". Many lawyers inside the court erupted in joy as Sheikh Hasina was sentenced to death for students crackdown.
