Bangladesh Tribunal Sentences Awami League Leader to Death Over 2024 Protest Killings
A special tribunal in Bangladesh sentenced Awami League Joint General Secretary Mahbubul Alam Hanif to death in absentia for the killing of six people during the 2024 July Uprising protests. Three other Awami League leaders received life imprisonment sentences for related charges. The tribunal also ordered confiscation of half their property. The trials followed the ouster of Sheikh Hasina's government, which she and her party have criticized as unfair. International rights groups have also questioned the tribunal's fairness.
