UN 'regrets' death sentence imposed on ex-PM of Bangladesh
The Straits Times
|November 19, 2025
The UN said on Nov 17 that former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina's sentencing for crimes against humanity marked "an important moment for victims", but she should not have been sentenced to death.
-
Hasina, 78, remained in hiding in India during the trial on charges that she ordered a bloody crackdown against a student-led uprising in 2024 that eventually ousted her.
She was sentenced in absentia to be hanged for crimes against humanity over the crackdown, in which up to 1,400 people were killed between July and August 2024, according to the United Nations.
The UN rights office, which determined in a report in February that Bangladesh's former government was behind systematic attacks and killings of protesters that possibly amounted to crimes against humanity, welcomed that verdicts had been reached.
