Bangladesh Tribunal Sentences Seven Awami League Leaders to Death Over 2024 Protests
Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal-2 sentenced seven senior Awami League leaders to death for crimes against humanity related to the 2024 student-led July Uprising protests that toppled former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government. The accused, including General Secretary Obaidul Quader, were tried in absentia and represented by state-appointed lawyers. Charges include directing, inciting violence, and involvement in killings and repression. This verdict follows Hasina's own death sentence in absentia in 2025 for her role in the crackdown during the protests.
