Chief Prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal, Md. Aminul Islam, stated that the Awami League destroyed state institutions during its 15 years in power and committed various crimes as a political party. He said that all incidents would be tried according to law. He made these remarks on Sunday afternoon during a briefing at the International Crimes Tribunal.

Aminul Islam confirmed that an investigation is ongoing against the Awami League for alleged crimes against humanity. If the allegations are proven, the party could be legally banned. He also mentioned that Awami League President Sheikh Hasina could face trial in several specific cases, including the Shapla Chattar incident.

On Saturday, Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed said at the July National Conference that the now-banned Awami League would never again be able to engage in politics in the country, claiming the party’s political downfall is complete.
