Bangladesh Tribunal Begins Delivering Verdict Against Ousted PM Sheikh Hasina

Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal has begun delivering its verdict in the case against deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is being tried in absentia for crimes against humanity. The charges stem from a deadly crackdown on student-led protests in 2024 that led to her ouster. Prosecutors have sought the death penalty. Hasina, currently residing in India, has called the trial a "kangaroo court." Authorities have deployed heavy security across Bangladesh amid fears of widespread violence and issued shoot-at-sight orders in Dhaka.
