Bangladesh's former Prime Minister is sentenced to death
Published 7 months, 1 week ago
Description
Bangladesh has entered one of its most volatile political periods in decades after former prime minister Sheikh Hasina was sentenced to death after being convicted over last year’s student-led uprising. She strongly rejects the ruling as illegitimate and politically motivated, insisting she was denied a fair trial. The verdict has heightened fears of renewed unrest, deepening political polarisation, and uncertainty over who will lead the Awami League into future elections.
