Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was sentenced to death by Bangladesh’s ICT for a crime against humanity.

Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) sentenced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to death on Monday, November 17, 2025, for crimes against humanity linked to the violent crackdown on the July–August 2024 protests. The tribunal held Hasina responsible for preventing justice, ordering killings, and failing to stop punitive violence against demonstrators. Evidence showed she authorized the use of helicopters and lethal weapons on protesters and oversaw the denial of medical assistance to injured demonstrators. Former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal was also sentenced to death, while former Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun turned state witness and was spared the death penalty. This verdict marks the first time a former Bangladeshi premier has been sentenced to death by the ICT, escalating national political tensions and prompting heavy security deployments in Dhaka. Hasina, currently in self-imposed exile in India, has dismissed the trial as politically motivated.

The chief minister of Assam is in London to finalize arrangements to bring back the famous “Brindabani Bastra.”

The Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma’s visit to London is geared toward advancing the return of the centuries-old ‘Brindabani Bastra,’ a treasured relic of the Neo-Vaishnavite tradition and a significant cultural artefact linked to Srimanta Sankardeva. The 16th-century textile, celebrated for its intricate woven depictions of Lord Krishna’s childhood, was created under the guidance of Srimanta Sankardeva and his disciple Madhabdeva. Portions of this masterpiece were removed from Assam during the British era and are now held in museums in London and Paris. Sarma’s visit has already seen preliminary talks with UK authorities to plan the artefact’s transportation back to Guwahati, where a new museum equipped with modern preservation facilities has been planned. A major step anticipated is the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the London museum that holds the Bastra, covering transfer, conservation, and display terms. This return is hailed as a cultural milestone expected to boost awareness of Sankardeva’s legacy and Assam’s Neo-Vaishnavite heritage, alongside plans to collaborate on recovering other fragments abroad. This event marks a significant rejuvenation of Assam’s cultural heritage on the global stage .
