Bangladesh Buys Eurofighters; Ex-PM Hasina Sentenced to Death, Family Jailed

• Bangladesh will procure Eurofighter Typhoon fighter aircraft from Italy, with a Letter of Intent signed between the Bangladesh Air Force and Leonardo S.p.A.
• The Eurofighter Typhoon is a European multinational twin-engine, supersonic, multirole fighter.
• Bangladesh's political climate remains tense and deeply polarized after a student-led uprising last year.
• An arrest warrant was issued for Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of former PM Sheikh Hasina, for crimes against humanity (shutting down internet during protests).
• Former PM Sheikh Hasina was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment on corruption charges and earlier sentenced to death by the ICT for killing students.
