A court in Bangladesh has sentenced two former police officers to death for the killing of a student protester during the 2024 uprising that toppled the government of Sheikh Hasina and plunged the country into political turmoil.
The International Crimes Tribunal handed down the punishment to former assistant sub-inspector Amir Hossain and former constable Sujan Chandra Roy for their role in the shooting of Abu Sayed, a student at Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur.
