Applause Lively Accompanying The Death Penalty Against Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Hasina

JAKARTA - The court in Bangladesh sentenced former Bangladeshi Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina to death on Monday 17 November.

Shortly after the death penalty was handed down to the 78-year-old woman, inside and outside the court cheered.

Citing the BBC International, long hand flour could not be dammed thundering in the courtroom.

A number of people were also screaming for Hasina to be hanged.

Hasina was sentenced to death over allegations of deadly crackdown on last year's anti-government protests.

In addition, Hasina, who fled to India after being ousted in a demonstration led by students, broke out in Bangladesh last year, was also charged with crimes against humanity.

In the trial related to a number of the charges alleged, the trial was held in a absentia because Hasina did not comply with the court's order to attend the live trial in Bangladesh.
