DHAKA: This week’s sentencing to death of Bangladesh’s former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on charges of crimes against humanity is seen by her opponents as a chance to move forward for a nation traumatized by the scale of the violent uprising that drove her from power into exile. Hasina has been in India since Aug. 5 last year, when her 15-year rule ended during the violence that left hundreds of people dead and thousands injured.

Hasina è stata processata in contumacia, è rifugiata in India

Hasina is being tried in absentia for crimes against humanity for a violent crackdown on student protests last year.
