Bangladesh protests: People take to streets, opposition demands extradition of Sheikh Hasina
November 23, 2025

The streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh’s capital, were once again filled with protesters on Saturday, with demonstrations spreading to several other cities. Thousands of people took to the streets demanding that former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina be brought to the country and executed following a court ruling. On November 17, Hasina was sentenced to death by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) for alleged killings during the 2024 student protests. Former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal also received a similar sentence for crimes against humanity. Hasina was not present in court when the verdict was announced.
