Serious concerns have been raised about the death sentence given to former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. According to senior legal experts, constitutional specialists, and people familiar with the tribunal process, the trial had major legal and procedural faults. They say judges were appointed improperly, defence rights were limited, and the case was rushed. The tribunal used an old law meant only for 1971 war crimes, and key changes to the law were made without proper authority. Hasina was denied lawyers of her choice, and the trial continued without her. Experts say the verdict is weak in law and cannot be enforced. (PC: NDTV)
