Tribunal-2 has accepted the testimony of martyr Sharif Osman Hadi as evidence in the crimes against humanity case concerning killings during the July Revolution. The case names Awami League General Secretary and former Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader and six other accused. The decision followed a prosecution request, and Hadi had given his statement on June 18 of the previous year. The three-member judicial panel, led by Justice Nazrul Islam Chowdhury, approved the application on Wednesday.

The other accused are Awami League Joint General Secretary A.F.M. Bahauddin Nasim, former State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Mohammad Ali Arafat, Jubo League Chairman Sheikh Fazle Shams Parash, General Secretary Mainul Hossain Khan Nikhil, Chhatra League President Saddam Hossain, and General Secretary Sheikh Wali Asif Inan. All defendants are currently absconding. Earlier, Tribunal-1 had accepted a statement by Badruddin Umar as evidence in a separate case against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

In his testimony, Hadi described his background, involvement in student activism, and detailed accounts of alleged violence during the 2024 uprising, accusing political and organizational leaders of orchestrating attacks on protesters.
