A Bangladesh court on Monday sentenced ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to death, concluding a months-long trial that found her guilty of ordering a deadly crackdown on a student-led uprising last year.
Hasina was “found guilty on three counts”, including incitement, order to kill, and inaction to prevent the atrocities, judge Golam Mortuza Mozumder read the verdict in the packed court in Dhaka.
“We have decided to inflict her with only one sentence -— that is, sentence of death.”
The ruling comes months before the country’s parliamentary elections, expected to take place in early February.
