Sajeeb Wazed, son of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, denounces her death sentence as illegitimate, calling the trial a "sham" conducted by an unconstitutional government. Speaking from Washington DC, he criticizes the rushed 140-day proceedings and expresses confidence that India will reject any extradition request for his mother, who fled Bangladesh during protests in August 2024.
