‘Lost control but … ‘: Hasina’s first reaction after Bangladesh court sentences her to death

Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina has defied a death sentence for “crimes against humanity,” calling the International Crimes Tribunal’s ruling politically motivated. She claims the August 2024 student protests, which led to her government’s fall, were not a premeditated assault. Hasina insists on facing charges in a legitimate court, highlighting her government’s human rights achievements and economic growth.
