Bangladesh’s International Criminal Tribunal will begin an official hearing of allegations against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday. For the first time in the history of the country, this move is the BDV on the government channel. Hasina was forced to leave the country after the student movement began on August 5 last year. He left Bangladesh and reached India for asylum and is currently living here. He faces many cases in Bangladesh courts, where photographs and live broadcasts of the investigation have been banned so far.
However, this tradition will be broken by the decision of Bangladesh, allowing the direct streaming of the International Crime Tribunal (ICT-PT) of Bangladesh. He will have to face the death penalty for allegations against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. On February 18, the three -judge Tribunal ordered the trial to be completed by April. According to a report by Bangladesh government news agency BSS (Bangladesh Sanwa Sansta), the government will make legitimate allegations against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at the ICT-BD tomorrow in the case of July-August 2024.
On August 5, 2024, the Hasina’s Awami League government was thrown after a major struggles under the leadership of a site called students (SAD); Three days later, Muhammad Yunas took over as chief adviser to the interim government. ICD-PT lawyer Kasi M.H. Kasi said, “For the first time in the Tribunal against the Awami League government’s influential people, including Sheikh Hasina, the entire country will see formal allegations.” He said the move would ensure transparency in the judicial process.
ICD-BT chief prosecutor Mohammed Tajul Islam said the allegations would be heard simultaneously against former Home Minister Astujman Khan Kamal and former police chief Chaudhry Abdullah al-Mamun. The Tribunal was originally created by the previous government to pursue radical colleagues of Pakistani soldiers during the 1971 liberation struggle. Six top leaders of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and the leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), the leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (PNP), were hanged after the court was punished.
The ICD-BT had previously issued an arrest warrant against Hasina, while the interim government demanded the diplomatic reference to the interim government. New Delhi only accepted the obtaining diplomatic reference, and no comment was made. During the violence in July-August last year, Sheikh Hasina’s party Awami League and most senior leaders and officials of the government were arrested for allegedly killing the protesters, which were killed in the killing of hundreds of people, including students and policemen. According to a report by the United Nations Human Rights Office, about 1,400 people were killed in Bangladesh from July 15 to August 15 last year, and violence continued after the fall of the Hasina government.
