Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal-1 has published the full verdict sentencing former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal to death for crimes against humanity related to the July 2024 massacre. The tribunal, led by Justice Golam Murtuza Mojumdar, found them guilty of incitement, ordering killings, and failing to prevent atrocities during the student-led anti-quota protests that left over 1,400 people dead. Former police chief Abdullah Al-Mamun received a five-year sentence for cooperating with investigators. The verdict also ordered confiscation of Hasina and Kamal’s assets and directed the government to compensate victims and their families. Hasina, who fled to India after the protests, remains a fugitive and cannot appeal unless she surrenders. This marks the first time a former Bangladeshi head of government has been sentenced to death for crimes against humanity. The tribunal cited recorded phone calls and witness testimonies as key evidence linking Hasina and Kamal to the violent suppression of demonstrators.
