Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed said an investigation agency of the International Crimes Tribunal is examining the Awami League’s responsibility for genocide and crimes against humanity. He said the party could face trial as a political organization once the investigation is completed. Ahmed made the remarks on August 5 at a reception and discussion programme for July martyrs’ families and July fighters at the China Friendship Conference Center in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka.
He said the July mass uprising was the result of a collective struggle by millions of people, not the achievement of any individual, party or group. Ahmed urged people not to turn July into a partisan issue and instead focus on fulfilling its aspirations. He described the uprising as the culmination of democratic movements, disappearances, killings, attacks, cases and repression from 2009 to 2024, and called for unity against fascism despite political differences.
Ahmed said amendments to the International Crimes Tribunal law allow for the trial of organizations as well as individuals. He opposed banning a political party by executive order, saying the court should determine the Awami League’s future after the investigation. He also reaffirmed commitments to constitutional amendments and said a draft law on preventing and remedying enforced disappearance had been published online for public opinion and would soon be placed before parliament.
