Sheikh Hasina’s Death Sentence: Reactions and Accusations of a Political Farce
Following the conviction of Sheikh Hasina by the court she established, questions arise regarding the impact on her Awami League party and her political future. The current Bangladesh government has been seeking her extradition from India, a request that could gain traction if an elected government emerges after the upcoming elections. Further restrictions on Hasina’s statements or the Awami League’s operations could significantly pressure the party, potentially forcing them to alter their strategy. With top leaders in exile and a ban on party activities, the Awami League faces considerable challenges in the days ahead.
