The Supreme Court of Bangladesh has published the full 229-page verdict in the Holey Artisan attack case, sentencing seven militants to life imprisonment until death. Originally sentenced to death in 2019 by a trial court, the High Court commuted their sentences, citing the brutality of the 2016 attack and its global impact on Bangladesh’s image. The militants were part of Neo-JMB and killed 22 people, including foreigners, in the Dhaka café siege. Two police officers also died during the rescue operation.
