Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal has sentenced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to death for crimes against humanity committed during the July uprising and ordered the confiscation of all her and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal’s assets. According to affidavits submitted to the Election Commission before the 2024 national election, Sheikh Hasina declared assets worth about 43.4 million taka, including cash, bank deposits, savings certificates, jewelry, vehicles, and land in Gopalganj, Gazipur, and Rangpur. Asaduzzaman Khan declared assets worth approximately 102.5 million taka, comprising cash, bank deposits, bonds, vehicles, land, and properties. The tribunal’s order has sparked public curiosity about the extent of their wealth and the process of state takeover. The government has also warned against broadcasting statements from the convicted leaders. The verdict marks a major development in Bangladesh’s ongoing political and judicial upheaval following the July movement.
