The International Crimes Tribunal-1 of Bangladesh has begun the trial of Salman F Rahman, adviser to the executed Sheikh Hasina, and former law minister Anisul Huq. Chief Prosecutor Tajul Islam stated that the prosecution possesses conclusive evidence proving their involvement in decisions to suppress the July revolution through curfews and lethal force. The tribunal, chaired by Justice Golam Mortuza Majumdar, heard the opening statement on February 10, 2026, marking the formal start of proceedings. The first witness testimony is scheduled for February 22.
The prosecution has brought five charges against the two accused, including joint criminal enterprise and superior command responsibility. The allegations involve incitement, conspiracy, and assistance in mass killings and injuries of students and civilians in Rangpur and several areas of Dhaka between July and August 2024. A total of 22 witnesses are expected to testify, supported by video, documentary, and live evidence.
The tribunal had earlier framed formal charges on January 12, 2026. The prosecution claims both accused played direct roles in encouraging and facilitating violent crackdowns on protesters during the July revolution.
