There were widespread protests against his government in July last year. During this time, this punishment was given for ‘crimes against humanity’. She has been living in India since the fall of her government on August 5 last year. Hasina, 78, was sentenced by the International Criminal Tribunal-Bangladesh (ICT-BD).

A report by the United Nations Human Rights Office estimated that 1,400 people were killed during the nearly month-long movement known as the ‘July Uprising’. Hasina has been sentenced to death for ordering the use of lethal force against unarmed protesters, making inflammatory statements and authorizing a campaign that led to the killing of several students in Dhaka and surrounding areas. Reading the verdict in a high-security courtroom in Dhaka, the tribunal said the prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt that Hasina was behind the deadly crackdown on student-led protests between July 15 and August 15 last year.
