The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has responded to the death sentence handed down to former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and ex-Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal by Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal. OHCHR spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani said from Geneva that the verdict marks a significant moment for victims of serious rights violations during the July uprising. She reiterated the UN’s call for accountability in line with international standards, including for those in leadership roles, and for ensuring victims receive effective remedies and compensation. Shamdasani noted that the trial was held in absentia and stressed the importance of fair trial standards, especially given the imposition of the death penalty, which the UN opposes in all cases. She urged all parties to act with restraint and said High Commissioner Volker Türk hopes Bangladesh will pursue truth, justice, and reform to prevent future abuses, with OHCHR ready to assist.
