Bangladesh’s Awami League party on Tuesday strongly rejected the verdict of the country’s so-called International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, calling the ruling “malicious, retaliatory, and vengeful”.

The statement came after the ICT on Monday pronounced a death sentence for the former Prime Minister after finding her guilty on the charges of “crimes against humanity” related to the demonstrations in July 2024.
