Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT-BD) on Monday sentenced deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina to death after finding her guilty of alleged crimes against humanity committed during last year’s student-led agitation that led to the fall of her Awami League government.

The three-member tribunal also delivered its judgment against two of Hasina’s aides — former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former police chief Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun — over the same charges. Al-Mamun was produced before the tribunal.

The former Bangladesh prime minister was found guilty of preventing justice, ordering the killing of protesters and failing to take measures to stop punitive killings.

The tribunal, however, spared Al-Mamun from the death penalty after he became a state witness.
