Bangladesh Tribunal to Deliver Verdict in Sheikh Hasina's Case on November 17

A special tribunal in Bangladesh has scheduled November 17 to deliver its verdict in a crimes against humanity case involving deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Hasina, who fled to India after massive anti-government protests earlier this year, was tried in absentia. Also facing trial were her former home minister and the then-chief of police. The verdict is a significant political event for the neighboring country, following a period of intense civil unrest that led to her government's ouster.
