Dhaka, Bangladesh – A special court in Dhaka sentenced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan to death for crimes against humanity related to the July Uprising, during which over 1,400 protesters were killed. The verdict was met with emotional responses from families of victims, including Shahina Begum, whose son was murdered by police. Concerns remain about the possibility of extradition from India, where both have fled. Many demand swift execution of the sentences to prevent further injustices.
