The headteacher Nusrat had accused of harassment and two female classmates were among those convicted.<br \/>\nHer murder shocked the country and led to a series of protests demanding justice for Nusrat.<br \/>\nThe trial has been one of the quickest in a country where such cases usually take years to conclude. Prosecutor Hafez Ahmed told reporters it proved \u201cthat nobody will get away with murder in Bangladesh\u201d. Lawyers for the defendants say they will appeal. The investigation into Nusrat\u2019s death revealed a conspiracy to silence her which included her own classmates and a number of powerful men from within the community.<br \/>\nThree teachers, including the headmaster, Siraj Ud Doula, who police say ordered the killing from prison after he was arrested under suspicion of harassment, were found guilty by the court on Thursday.<br \/>\n Another two of the defendants convicted, Ruhul Amin and Maksud Alam, are local leaders of the ruling Awami League party.<br \/>\nA number of local police were found to have collaborated with those convicted in spreading false information that Nusrat had committed suicide. The officers were not among those tried for Nusrat\u2019s murder.<br \/>\nNusrat\u2019s family, who supported her decision to go to police back in March, have since been given police protection, local media reported.<br \/>\nThey welcomed the verdict, asking for the sentence to be carried out quickly. In Bangladesh, the death penalty is carried out by hanging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nusrat Rafi murder case ONLINE Dhaka A Bangladesh court has sentenced 16 people to death for the murder of a student set on fire after accusing her teacher of sexual harassment.
