Former Prime Minister Bangladesh Sheikh Hasin was sentenced to 6 months prison

Dakka – Former Prime Minister Bangladesh Sheikh Hasin was sentenced to six months of imprisonment by the International Crime Court of Crime (ICT), based in Dacke, in the case of insulting the court. This news was disclosed in the Dhaka Tribune report on Thursday (3/7/2025).

On Wednesday, the sentence was represented by a court consisting of three people.

The prosecutor Bangladesh asked the court to take place in connection with telephone conversations, where Hasina allegedly stated that he had permission to kill 227 people because 227 cases were presented against him, according to Dhaka Tribune.

ICT is the internal military court of Bangladesh, which was formed in 2009 to investigate and persecute messages involved in genocide, carried out by the Pakistani rulers in the country during the country for the country’s independence in 1971.

Hasina, who left Bangladesh in the Indian neighboring countries, after his rule was overthrown as a result of the coup in 2024, was judged and punished in absentia.

Earlier this year, Dacca sent a diplomatic note to New Deli, who asked him to return to judge him, to which the government of the Indian government did not officially respond.

This was the first prison term for Hasina since he left Bangladesh. In June, ICT officially accused Hasin of committing a crime against humanity related to strong actions against the mass protests that occurred last year and led to the overthrow of the government carried out by his party, the Avami League.
