 Tribunal Begins Trial of Former Bangladesh Prime Minister


International Crimes Tribunal to Broadcast Sheikh Hasina’s Trial Worldwide


The prosecution of the International Crimes Tribunal has taken the initiative to broadcast the trial of ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to the entire world. Formal charges are set to be filed today, Sunday, against Sheikh Hasina for crimes against humanity committed during the July–August protests. A live hearing broadcast is planned, and a test transmission has already been conducted via Bangladesh Television (BTV).


At a meeting on Saturday, Chief Prosecutor Tazul Islam stated, “We are fully committed to advancing the trial process.”


He described Sheikh Hasina as the "nucleus of disappearances and the Ayana Chamber.” He further stated that significant progress in the trial would be visible by December.


The Chief Prosecutor confirmed that the trial is proceeding at full pace, though reasonable time is required to complete the investigations. Investigations into 10 to 15 major disappearance cases have already been completed, and the reports are expected within June.


Tazul Islam mentioned that obstacles to the trial process have largely been removed, and the Tribunal has been able to identify the structural patterns of the crimes and the perpetrators involved. However, he acknowledged that some obstacles remain in arresting those involved in the disappearances, and efforts are ongoing to ensure the arrests.


He emphasized that the prosecution is being extremely cautious in handling the case. “We are ensuring international standards of justice, protecting human rights, and making sure that injustice does not occur in the name of justice—mistakes made in the past must not be repeated,” he said.


It’s worth noting that, on May 12, the investigation agency submitted charges to the tribunal holding Sheikh Hasina responsible as the chief instigator behind the nationwide massacres during July and August. Five charges have also been brought against former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun.
