Business Standard
|June 02, 2025
Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal on Sunday indicted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and two others on several charges, including mass murder, for their alleged role in the violent crackdown on student-led protests last year.
Sunday's proceedings marked the start of Hasina's trial in absentia nearly 10 months after the ouster of her government following the protests.
"We do hereby take into cognizance the charges," the three-judge ICT bench said after a prosecution team formally accused them of attempting to tame the protests using brutal force.
