The International Crimes Tribunal-1 has rejected senior Supreme Court lawyer Z I Khan Panna’s application in the ongoing July crimes against humanity case involving former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Despite Panna’s request to represent Sheikh Hasina, the tribunal appointed lawyer Amir Hossain as the state defense counsel on June 25. At the witness testimony stage, the tribunal questioned the purpose of Panna’s application and stated that no new applications can be accepted at this point, comparing it to missing a train after it has left.
