Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal-1 has sentenced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to death for crimes against humanity committed during the July uprising, specifically for the killing of six people in Chankharpur. The verdict was delivered on Monday, November 17, by a three-member panel led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mojumdar. Prosecutor Gazi M H Tamim stated that Hasina cannot appeal the verdict as she is currently a fugitive. Under tribunal law, an appeal must be filed within 30 days of the verdict, but only after the convicted person surrenders or is arrested. Legal experts clarified that while the criminal procedure code allows certain leniencies for women, minors, or the sick in bail matters, no such special provisions exist in sentencing or appeal rights under the tribunal law. Hasina remains at large following her ouster from power.
