Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina has been sentenced to death by the International Criminal Tribunal (ICT) after finding her guilty of crimes against humanity. Hasina, who is living in exile in India, has been awarded death sentence in two out of five cases and life imprisonment in the remaining cases. Terming the decision as a political conspiracy, he has called it a decision of a ‘fake court’. After this decision, many experts are now calling it not Bangladesh’s politics but a part of ‘International Game’.
What is Sheikh Hasina’s case?
ICT held Sheikh Hasina directly responsible for the violence, deaths and repression that took place during the 2024 student movement. The court says that at that time drones, helicopters and deadly weapons were used on his instructions, due to which 1,400 people died and about 24,000 people were injured. The court sentenced Hasina to death by calling her the ‘mastermind’ of these incidents.
Experts said – this decision is ‘political revenge’
Many experts and former diplomats have raised serious questions on the decision. He believes that this entire process is politically influenced and Hasina was not even given a chance to clarify. Defense analyst Dr Brahma Chellani termed ICT as a ‘Kangaroo Court’ and said that this decision is not justice but political vendetta. He said that Awami League has already been banned and the interim government is using the judicial system to eliminate its political opponents.
Bangladesh’s Kangaroo Court: The ICT’s death sentence against ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina surprises no one. The unelected interim regime and its patrons have weaponized the legal process to eliminate their strongest political adversaries. This verdict is not a judicial…

America-Pakistan game against India?
Retired Major General and defense expert Sanjay Meston claimed that the agenda of America and Pakistan is working behind this entire incident. According to him, both these countries want to mold Bangladesh into an anti-India Islamic framework. He also said that democracy is being systematically weakened in Bangladesh.
Former diplomats also raised questions on the decision
Former High Commissioner of India to Bangladesh, Veena Sikri also called the court’s decision illegal. He says that no official basis was given for the figure of 1,400 deaths, nor was the identity of the victims disclosed. He said that this decision was given so quickly that it seems to be motivated more by political motives than judicial process. Former ambassador Ashok Sajjanhar also said that this decision was predetermined as all the members of the tribunal are trusted people of the current interim government.
Former High Commissioner of India Riva Ganguly Das said that the situation needs to be viewed very carefully. He told that after the verdict, two bulldozers were seen moving towards 32 Dhanmondi of Dhaka, where Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was murdered. He raised questions as to who are bringing these bulldozers and why that place is being targeted. He said that incidents of violence and arson have been increasing continuously for the last few days, due to which the situation has become very dangerous. India will have to keep a close eye on this situation in its neighbourhood.

Yunus is also doing the same thing!
Even before the decision, there was a situation of violence, crude bomb attacks and tension in Dhaka. Meanwhile, the interim government gave orders to the security forces to ‘shoot at sight’, questions are also being raised about this. Experts say that the present government itself is taking the same action on the charge on which Hasina was punished.
