NEW DELH (Bernama): Bangladesh's ousted prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, has been charged with crimes against humanity in a Bangladesh tribunal over the killing of protesters during last year's mass uprising against her rule.

Hasina, who fled to India in August 2024 after her regime crumbled following weeks of protests, is being tried by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) of Bangladesh.
