Sheikh Hasina Sentenced to Death for 2024 Crackdown in Bangladesh
On November 17, 2025, Bangladesh’s former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was convicted in absentia by the country’s International Crimes Tribunal for crimes against humanity during the 2024 crackdown on student-led protests. Sentenced to death, the verdict has triggered mixed reactions: supporters of the victims see it as overdue justice, while international observers and human rights groups raise concerns over due process and judicial independence. Hasina, who fled to India in 2024, has denied all charges. The conviction marks a dramatic chapter in Bangladesh’s ongoing political upheaval.
