Sheikh Hasina’s net worth : Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was sentenced to death by a special tribunal on Monday (November 17). The sentencing came in his absence for crimes against humanity committed during mass protests against his government in July last year. She has been living in India since the fall of her government on August 5 last year. The sentence was handed down by the International Criminal Tribunal-Bangladesh (ICT-BD). The court had earlier declared him a fugitive. Before leaving the country, Sheikh Hasina was known for her wealth and fame and owned assets worth crores of rupees.
According to a report by the United Nations Human Rights Office, 1,400 people were killed during a month-long uprising known as the “July Uprising”. Hasina was sentenced to death for ordering the use of lethal force on unarmed protesters, making inflammatory statements and authorizing a campaign that led to the killing of several students in Dhaka and surrounding areas. Delivering the verdict in a high-security Dhaka court, the tribunal said prosecutors had proved beyond reasonable doubt that Hasina was behind the deadly crackdown on student-led protests between July 15 and August 15 last year.
