Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus stated that the court verdict sentencing former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her associate Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal to death for crimes against humanity during the July–August 2024 uprising demonstrates that no one is above the law. In a statement issued Monday, Yunus said the ruling reflects a crucial step toward justice for thousands killed or injured during the movement. He emphasized that the judgment acknowledges the suffering of unarmed protesters, including reports of helicopter gunfire, and reaffirms Bangladesh’s commitment to accountability and human rights. Yunus described the nation as standing at a crossroads to rebuild its democratic foundations after years of repression. He urged the restoration of trust between citizens and state institutions and said the verdict marks an important milestone in that journey. The Chief Adviser expressed confidence that Bangladesh, guided by courage and humility, will overcome future challenges and ensure justice prevails.
