Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of former Bangladeshi leader Sheikh Hasina, expressed concern that the International Crimes Tribunal may issue a death sentence against his mother in connection with five cases, including charges of crimes against humanity. The verdict is expected today. Hasina, who fled to India in August 2024 following a student-led uprising, is currently living in exile in New Delhi. Joy stated that India is ensuring her safety and that she remains secure under Indian protection. The tribunal’s proceedings stem from violent crackdowns during the 2024 student protests, which, according to a UN report, left around 1,400 people dead and thousands injured. Joy said the outcome of the trial appears predetermined but emphasized that his mother’s safety is guaranteed while she remains in India.
