Overview
- The tribunal found Hasina guilty on all five counts, imposing life imprisonment on the first charge and death sentences on several others.
- The hearing and verdict were broadcast live on the court’s website.
- Former interior minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal also received a death sentence, while ex–police chief Chowdhury Abdulla Al‑Mamun was given five years after pleading guilty and testifying.
- Hasina, who remains in India, rejected the ruling as a sham and said she was denied a chance to defend herself.
- Under Bangladeshi law she can appeal only if arrested or if she surrenders within 30 days, and the case centers on the 2024 crackdown that caused large casualties.
