The Investigation Agency of the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has submitted a probe report implicating former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and two others in a case related to mass killings during the July Uprising.
ICT Prosecutor MH Tamim confirmed that the report was submitted to the tribunal’s prosecution office on Sunday. Hasina, along with former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan and former Inspector General of Police Abdullah Al-Mamun, faces charges of genocide linked to the violent suppression of the Anti-discrimination Student Movement.
The tribunal had earlier issued arrest warrants for Hasina on October 17, 2024, in connection with these charges. On the same day, arrest warrants were also issued for 45 others in a separate but related case.
Originally established in 2010 by Hasina’s own Awami League government to try war crimes from the 1971 Liberation War, the ICT is now being used by the interim government to pursue accountability for state violence during last year’s mass protests.
