Ex-Bangladesh leader Sheikh Hasina sentenced to death over brutal protests crackdown | BBC News

Bangladesh’s former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death.

A special tribunal found she was responsible for ordering a violent crackdown on student-led protests last year, during which the UN estimates up to 1,400 people died, most by gunfire from security forces.

Hasina was tried in her absence as she is living in exile in India, where she has been since being forced from power.
