The International Crimes Tribunal-2 has released the full 809-page verdict in the case of Abu Sayeed, a student of Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur, who was declared the first martyr of the July Revolution. The tribunal found that police officers intentionally and unlawfully killed Abu Sayeed under a state-directed policy of violent suppression. Chief Prosecutor Aminul announced the verdict details at a press briefing, noting that appeals may be filed after review.
The judgment stated that forensic and evidence-based investigations by an internationally recognized human rights mission confirmed the killing was part of a broader, systematic campaign against civilians, qualifying as a crime against humanity under the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act, 1973. The tribunal determined that Sayeed died from multiple injuries, including gunshot wounds, and ruled the death a planned murder.
Two former police officers received death sentences, three others life imprisonment, and several university officials and student leaders received prison terms ranging from three to ten years. The tribunal also deemed one convict’s time in custody as sentence served.
