Mixed reactions in Bangladesh as former prime minister sentenced in absentia

Bangladesh (MNN) — On Monday, the International Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh sentenced former prime minister Sheikh Hasina to death in absentia. The court found the exiled leader guilty of ordering the lethal crackdown on student-led protests in 2024. Clashes with police led to the deaths of up to 1,400 people, with thousands more wounded. Many celebrate the verdict as justice for the dead. Others dismiss it as politically motivated. Hasina is currently in India, where she lived decades ago aft
