Dhaka, November 17 (Xinhua) — A special tribunal here on Monday sentenced former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to death in absentia for crimes against humanity during protests in the country last July.
Former Bangladesh Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal was also sentenced to death, while former Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun was sentenced to five years in prison.
The three-member International Criminal Tribunal, headed by Judge Gholam Mortuza Mozumder, began reading the verdict in a packed courtroom.
The tribunal ordered 78-year-old Sheikh Hasina to return from India and stand trial. She is accused of ordering the brutal police crackdown on student protests that led to her ouster from power last year.
While A.H. Kamal remains on the run, his accomplice, C.A. Al Mamun, who is in custody, has pleaded guilty and turned witness. –0–
