Dhaka, June 2: The trial of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on charges of crimes against humanity has begun. These charges were formally registered at the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) of Bangladesh on Sunday.
Chief Prosecutor Tajul Islam has lodged these allegations in the tribunal. ICT prosecutor Gazi Manowar Hussain Tamim has given this information to the Daily Star. On May 12, the tribunal’s investigation agency submitted its investigation report against Hasina.
In this, five allegations of crimes against humanity were made during the movement in July 2024. According to the report, more than 1500 people were killed during the movement while more than 25 thousand were injured.
Terrorist Hafiz’s organization took responsibility for Hasina’s coup
Some terrorists of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed’s banned organisation Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JUD) have claimed that they played a role in the massive anti-government protests in Bangladesh last year.
Due to this, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had to step down from her post. According to PTI, these statements were made by JUD terrorists Saifullah Kasuri and Muzammil Hashmi during their speeches.
Addressing supporters in Lahore, Kasuri said,
“I was four years old when Pakistan was partitioned in 1971. The then Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declared that she had drowned the two-nation theory in the Khaleej (Bay of Bengal). On May 10, we have avenged 1971.”
Hasina’s passport cancelled, arrest warrant issued
The Yunus government formed after the coup in Bangladesh has registered more than 225 cases against Hasina, ranging from murder, kidnapping to treason.
The Bangladesh government has also cancelled Sheikh Hasina’s passport due to the killings in July. The International Criminal Tribunal of Bangladesh had issued an arrest warrant against her. The tribunal had directed Hasina to appear before it by February 12.
Bangladesh has also appealed to India to deport Hasina. However, the Indian government has extended her visa, which makes it clear that she will not be deported to Bangladesh.
A red-corner notice has been sought from Interpol against Haseena
In April this year, Bangladesh Police had asked Interpol to issue a Red Corner Notice against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Apart from Hasina, a similar demand was made against 11 other people.
Sheikh Hasina has been living in India since the coup in August last year.
The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) of Bangladesh had issued arrest warrants against Sheikh Hasina, her former ministers, advisers and officials. They were accused of crimes against humanity and genocide.
Interpol’s Red Notice helps to locate a person and provisionally arrest him or her prior to extradition or legal action.
