In an apparently unprecedented ruling, 152 former members of the Bangladesh Rifles, a paramilitary border security force, were sentenced to death on Tuesday in connection with a bloody 2009 mutiny in which several thousand troops took control of their headquarters, demanding better working conditions, and killed scores of people.
Some of the border guards broke down in tears after hearing their sentence, pronounced by Judge Mohammad Akhtaruzzaman in a crowded Dhaka courtroom under heavy security, and others shouted at the judge, saying the verdict was unfair.
“Allah will deliver justice of this injustice,” they said.
