A Dhaka court has scheduled January 5 for the charge framing hearing in a sedition case against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and 285 others. The case stems from an alleged online meeting held on December 19 last year, where participants reportedly formed a group called 'Joy Bangla Brigade' and discussed plans to reinstate Hasina through a civil conflict. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) filed the case on March 27, 2025, following approval from the Home Ministry. CID Assistant Superintendent Enamul Haque later submitted a charge sheet on August 14, accusing 286 individuals of conspiring to overthrow the government. The court accepted the charge sheet and issued arrest warrants against all accused. The defense requested more time for the hearing, which the court granted, setting the new date for January 5. Among the accused are several former MPs, Awami League leaders, and student organization members.
