Bangladesh is on edge as a special tribunal prepares to deliver a crucial verdict on Monday (November 17, 2025) against ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The interim government led by Muhammad Yunus has demanded the death penalty for the 78-year-old former leader, accusing her of crimes against humanity committed during last year’s anti-government protests. With the decision expected within the next 24 hours, security agencies across the country have been placed on high alert amid fears of potential unrest and nationwide instability.
