Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal–1 on Monday sentenced former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal to death for crimes against humanity, including killings during the July mass uprising. Former Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, a prosecution witness in the same case, received a five-year prison term. Prosecutor Gazi Monowar Hossain Tamim told reporters that the convicts have 30 days from the verdict date to file appeals under Section 21(3) of the tribunal law. If no appeal is filed within this period, the verdict will be executed upon arrest. He clarified that the tribunal law does not allow for delay condonation, unlike general criminal law. Appeals must be resolved within 60 days once filed. The prosecutor added that the convicts can only collect certified copies of the verdict and related documents to submit with their appeals to the Appellate Division, where they may also seek bail. Families of July uprising victims plan to appeal for harsher punishment for Mamun.
