Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has officially indicted ex‑Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, alongside former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan and ex‑IGP Chowdhury Abdullah Al‑Mamun, on five charges of crimes against humanity linked to the brutal suppression of a 2024 student-led uprising. The indicting bench, chaired by Justice Golam Mortuza Mozumder, accepted the prosecution's assertion of a coordinated, systemic attack involving security forces and party-affiliated cadres. Mamun has pleaded guilty and offered to testify, while Hasina and Khan face trial in absentia after fleeing to India in August 2024. Proceedings are due to commence on August 3. The move deepens ongoing political turmoil and regional implications. (PC: AP)
