Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal has sentenced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to death for crimes against humanity committed during the July uprising that led to her ouster. Prosecutor Gazi Monowar Hossain Tamim confirmed that certified copies of the verdict will soon be sent to relevant government offices, including the Dhaka District Magistrate, for enforcement. The tribunal also directed that absconding convicts may obtain certified copies if they surrender or are arrested within 30 days. Meanwhile, the government has begun preparing an application through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Interpol for a new notice based on a conviction warrant, replacing the previous arrest warrant. Hasina fled to India on August 5 last year amid a mass uprising and remains there. Authorities aim to secure her return to Bangladesh to implement the tribunal’s verdict.
