She is safe in India

[Bangladesh's ousted leader
Sheikh Hasina sentenced to death]


[Bangladesh's former prime minister has
been sentenced to death for crimes against
humanity over her crackdown
on student-led protests which led to her ousting.

Sheikh Hasina was found guilty of allowing
lethal force to be used against protesters,
1,400 of whom died during the unrest last year.
Hasina was tried in absentia by the
International Crimes Tribunal (ICT)
in Bangladesh, having been exiled in India since
she was forced from power in July 2024.
Prosecutors accused her of being behind
hundreds of killings during the protests
and families of those killed or injured
called for tough penalties.
Hasina has denied all charges,
calling the trial
"biased and politically motivated".]
