Moment Ex-Bangladesh leader Sheikh Hasina's sentence is announced
Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been found guilty of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death.
A special tribunal in Dhaka found she was responsible for ordering a violent crackdown on student-led protests last year, during which the UN estimates up to 1,400 people died, most by gunfire from security forces.
Hasina has called the court's decision "biased and politically motivated" in a statement released after the verdict.
