A Dhaka court has sentenced former fascist Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to a total of 21 years in prison in three separate cases over allegations of misusing power to obtain 30 kathas of government land in the Purbachal New Town Project.

The judge of Dhaka Special Judge Court-5 Mohammad Abdullah Al Mamun delivered the verdict at 11:30am.

He stated that as the offenses were proven in all three cases, she was sentenced to seven years in each case, totaling 21 years with the sentences to be served consecutively.

The court also sentenced Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy to five years' imprisonment and her daughter Saima Wazed Putul to the same term.

Earlier, on 23 November, after hearing arguments from both the prosecution and the defense, Judge Mamun had scheduled 27 November for the verdict in these cases.

Sheikh Hasina, Sajeeb Wazed Joy and Saima Wazed Putul have been absconding since the beginning of the proceedings in the three cases.

Mohammad Khurshid Alam, a former member of RAJUK and the only accused arrested in the cases, was present in the courtroom during the verdict. Lawyers representing the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) were also in attendance.

According to the case documents, Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Deputy Director Md Salahuddin filed the case on January 14, 2025, against eight accused, including Sheikh Hasina, over the alleged irregular allocation of a 10-katha plot in Purbachal.

A charge-sheet in this case later named 12 accused.

On January 12, 2025, ACC Assistant Director Afnan Jannat Keya filed the case against 16 people, including Sheikh Hasina and Saima Wazed Putul. Keya later filed the charge sheet in the case against 18 accused.

The court on July 31, 2025, framed charges in these three cases and issued arrest warrants for the accused. A total of 29 witnesses testified in the case.

  Harnessing the superpowers of the most resilient life form on Earth Share Save Jasmin Fox-Skelly Steve Gschmeissner/ Science Photo Library (Credit: Steve Gschmeissner/ Science Photo Library) Bake them, freeze them, fire them from a gun, or blast them into space: tardigrades can survive almost anything. Some experts even think this eight-legged micro-animal could outlive every other species on Earth – including humans – and survive right up until the Sun dies. If you went into outer space without protection, you'd die. Yet a tiny animal no larger than 1mm long – about the size of a pinhead –  has survived this  and more. Under the microscope, tardigrades, also known as water bears or moss piglets, are fearsome looking creatures. Their podgy misshapen faces, ferocious claws and dagger-like teeth make them look more like a monster from Doctor Who than an animal. Now scientists are trying to harness their superpowers for our own use – from protecting cancer patients from ha...

A landmark risk assessment commissioned by the government this week warned Australia faced a future of increasingly extreme weather conditions as a result of man-made climate change.
