The International Crimes Tribunal-1 of Bangladesh has set November 13 as the date for announcing the verdict in a war crimes case against ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, and one other accused. The charges stem from alleged crimes against humanity committed during the July–August 2024 movement. The three-member bench, headed by Justice Md. Golam Mortuza Mozumdar, confirmed the date after concluding hearings on October 23. Chief Prosecutor Mohammad Tajul Islam and Attorney General Md. Asaduzzaman presented final arguments on behalf of the prosecution, while state-appointed defense counsel Md. Amir Hossain argued for the absconding accused, seeking acquittal. The defense challenged witness testimonies, claiming bias and coercion. The prosecution insisted the evidence proved command responsibility and direct involvement. The verdict is expected to have significant political and legal ramifications in Bangladesh’s ongoing accountability process.
