Chief Prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal, Aminul Islam, stated that no official letter had been received by the tribunal or prosecution via email in support of death row convict Sheikh Hasina. He said a copy of such a letter was circulated among journalists through WhatsApp, but it appeared to have been sent from a fake organization. He made these remarks on Thursday in response to questions from reporters.

Aminul Islam explained that the letter was poorly written, addressed to “Dear ICT,” and claimed to act on behalf of Sheikh Hasina, which he described as immature and unprofessional. He said a genuine British law firm would not make such basic errors, suggesting the letter might have originated from a local fake firm. He emphasized that no tribunal proceedings would be affected by such an unofficial letter.

The Chief Prosecutor added that if any official letter were to arrive, its language and content could be considered contemptuous, and legal action would be taken against the firm responsible.
