Bangladesh’s deposed premier Sheikh Hasina was on Thursday formally indicted in absentia in a crimes against humanity case by the country’s International Crimes Tribunal.
The special tribunal has set August 3 as the start date for the trial.
“The International Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh (ICT-BD) has framed the charge against her (Hasina) alongside the home minister of her regime Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and (the then) inspector general of police (IGP) Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun,” a prosecution lawyer told a media briefing. PTI
