Bangladesh Tribunal Opens Crimes Against Humanity Trial Against Ousted PM Hasina | N18G

Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has begun the in absentia trial of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for crimes against humanity linked to the violent suppression of 2024’s student-led protests. Prosecutors labelled Hasina the “nucleus of all crimes” and indicted her alongside former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and ex-IGP Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun. The charges centre on state-sanctioned killings and torture during the Students Against Discrimination (SAD) movement that ousted Hasina on August 5, 2024. Hasina fled to India, which has yet to respond to an extradition request. A UN report cited 1,400 protest-related deaths during the crackdown.

Minority groups, especially Hindus, report rising attacks, while opposition parties accuse the government of repression. Yunus has shifted foreign policy towards China, though Western support remains. However, U.S. aid was suspended under President Donald Trump, complicating recovery efforts. The path to democracy remains uncertain amid growing unrest and division.
