Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal has sentenced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to death for alleged crimes against humanity committed during efforts to suppress a student-led uprising. The verdict, delivered on Monday, sparked widespread public reaction outside the High Court, where groups of students and citizens gathered under the banner 'Manch 24' to offer prayers and express gratitude. Fahim Faruqi, the group’s convener, led a prayer seeking divine justice and protection for Bangladesh, while retired Lieutenant Colonel Hasinur Rahman expressed relief and gratitude, calling the verdict a long-awaited act of justice. The crowd’s emotional response reflected deep divisions and intense public sentiment surrounding the trial and its political implications. Authorities have yet to announce when or how the sentence will be carried out, and the decision is expected to trigger further debate and possible appeals.
