Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina Sentenced to Jail For Six Months by International Crimes Tribunal

In a historic and controversial ruling, Bangladesh’s former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been sentenced to six months in prison by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) for contempt of court. The sentence was delivered by a three-judge bench, marking the first conviction for the exiled Awami League leader since her dramatic flight from Bangladesh last year. Hasina’s lawyer, appointed by the state, argued that she categorically denies all allegations, including those linked to the 2023 crackdown that reportedly killed up to 1,400 protestors. The Awami League, now banned and operating from exile, condemned the verdict as a “show trial.” As Hasina remains in India, defying court summons, the ruling has reignited political tensions and drawn global attention.
