DHAKA – Catholic leaders in Bangladesh are saying they are against the death penalty after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and one of her close aides were sentenced to death on Monday over her crackdown on a student uprising last year that killed hundreds of people and led to the toppling of her 15-year rule.
She had ruled the country for 15 years, but fled to India on August 5 last year after mass protests against corruption bring the nation to a standstill.
