On June 1, 2025, Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal commenced proceedings against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, charging her with crimes against humanity related to a violent crackdown on student-led protests in mid-2024. The tribunal accepted five charges, including mass killings, torture, and enforced disappearances, stemming from a government response that resulted in approximately 1,400 deaths, as per UN estimates. Hasina, who has been in exile in India since August 2024, faces arrest warrants alongside 45 others. Bangladesh has formally requested her extradition under a 2013 treaty with India, though political considerations may influence the outcome. The trial marks a significant turn, as Hasina had originally established the tribunal in 2010 to address war crimes from the 1971 independence war. (PC: Reuters)
