Tribunal to set date of verdict against Hasina in crimes against humanity caseThe International Crimes Tribunal is to set a date for the verdict in a crimes against humanity case against ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina over the suppression of the July Uprising on Thursday. This began the trial of the first crimes against humanity case against Hasina at the court her government formed to try the war criminals of 1971. The International Crimes Tribunal was reconstituted after the fall of the Awami League government on Aug 5, 2024. The first case against Sheikh Hasina was filed in the reconstituted tribunal on charges of crimes against humanity during the July mass uprising. Chief Prosecutor Tajul Islam sought the death penalty for Hasina and Asaduzzaman on charges of crimes against humanity.
