"acted in good faith and were trying to minimize the loss of life."
"We lost control of the situation, but to characterize what happened as a premeditated assault on citizens is simply to misread the facts,"
"biased and politically motivated."
"But neither I nor other political leaders ordered the killing of protesters."
A special tribunal in Dhaka sentenced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan to death in absentia for crimes against humanity over the deadly July–August 2024 student uprising. Both Hasina and Khan fled to India before the trial. A former police chief pleaded guilty, became a state witness, and received a five-year prison sentence. The interim government reported more than 800 deaths and about 14,000 injuries, while a U.N. estimate put deaths as high as 1,400. Hasina called the charges unjustified, said she acted in good faith, denied ordering killings, and must surrender or be arrested within 30 days to appeal.
