Fugitive ex-Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina faces "crimes against humanity" charges for orchestrating a crackdown on protesters in 2024 that killed 1,400 people. Prosecutors say Hasina launched a "systematic attack" against the uprising, using law enforcement and her party members to crush it. Hasina, currently in exile in India, denies the charges, calling them politically motivated. The trial involves former officials and is a key demand of political parties ahead of elections.
