The ruling in southeast Bangladesh’s Feni district, about 100 miles southeast from the capital Dhaka, comes six months after 19-year-old Nusrat Jahan Rafi was killed.
###
Rafi had filed a sexual harassment complaint with local police and named her school principal, Siraj Ud Doula, as one of the accused.
###
Police spokesman Banaj Kumar Muzumdar said Doula then contracted several people to kill the teenager — and ordered the perpetrators to make her death look like a suicide.
###
On April 6, Rafi was lured out of her school classroom and onto the roof, where a group of men wearing burqas gagged and restrained her. They drenched her in kerosene and set her on fire, Muzumdar said in May.
###
Rafi was able to make an official statement before succumbing to her injuries four days later.
###
Her case sparked nationwide protests with people demanding justice for the student.
###
The principal was one of the 16 sentenced to death on Wednesday. Each of the 16 was also fined $1,183.
