Bangladesh's former leader gets death sentence after protests

Sheikh Hasina was the leader of Bangladesh. Many people protested against her last year. The police killed about 1,400 people during these protests. A court in Bangladesh said Hasina is guilty and gave her the death sentence. She is not in Bangladesh now. She is in India.

Many people in Bangladesh are happy about the court's decision. Some people are sad and think the trial was not fair. Hasina says she did nothing wrong. She says the court is not fair and the new government wants to stop her party.

Now, there is a new leader in Bangladesh. His name is Muhammad Yunus. The old leader's party cannot join the next election. Some people want Hasina to say sorry. Many families are still sad because they lost family members in the protests.
