- On Tuesday, the three-member Dhaka-based International Crimes Tribunal sentenced seven aides of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to death for crimes against humanity committed during the 2024 monsoon uprising.
- The 2024 monsoon uprising that ousted Hasina's government resulted in at least 1,400 deaths according to the United Nations, prompting the tribunal to sentence the former Prime Minister to death last November.
- Convicts include Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader and former state minister for Information Mohammad Ali Arafat, both currently fugitives in India or the United States; the tribunal ordered confiscating half their assets.
- Across multiple verdicts, the tribunals have convicted 68 individuals connected to the 2024 protests, with 22 sentenced to death; only four remain in custody.
- Despite her own death sentence handed down last November, the 78-year-old former Prime Minister remains in self-imposed exile in India and has vowed to return to Bangladesh this December.
