Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : There was cheering and clapping in the court after the death sentence was pronounced.
43% : The International Crimes Tribunal, Bangladesh's domestic war crimes court located in the capital Dhaka, delivered the verdict amid tight security and in Hasina's absence, after she fled to India in August 2024. Hasina, 78, got a life sentence under charges for crimes against humanity and the death sentence for the killing of several people during the uprising.
40% : "In their distasteful call for the death penalty, they reveal the brazen and murderous intent of extremist figures within the interim government to remove Bangladesh's last elected prime minister, and to nullify the Awami League as a political force," she said.
30% : According to a United Nations report, up to 1,400 people may have been killed during the protests between July 15 and Aug. 5, 2024, with thousands more injured -- most of them by gunfire from security forces -- in what was the worst violence in Bangladesh since its 1971 war of independence.
