Bangladesh Protests: Will Sheikh Hasina Walk Free or Face Capital Punishment?

Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka, is once again witnessing unrest as fresh demonstrations erupt. The protest was launched by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s party, the Awami League, which called for a shutdown against what they describe as a ‘politically motivated trial’ targeting Hasina.

Meanwhile, Hasina is set to face trial on November 17 over allegations linked to the killings of children, a case that has triggered nationwide tension and intensified political conflict.
