National Citizen Party (NCP) South Region chief organizer Hasanat Abdullah is scheduled to testify today before International Crimes Tribunal-2 in the case concerning the killing of Begum Rokeya University student Abu Sayeed, the first martyr of the July uprising. The three-member tribunal, chaired by Justice Nazrul Islam Chowdhury, will hear his testimony as the 22nd witness in the case against 30 accused, including the university’s former vice-chancellor Hasibur Rashid.
According to the prosecution, six of the accused are currently in custody, while 24 remain absconding. The tribunal has been hearing witness statements since August, with testimonies from police officers, students, and eyewitnesses describing the events of July 16 last year. The case formally began on August 27 following the submission of the investigation report and formation of charges in June.
Legal analysts note that Abdullah’s testimony may provide key insights into the chain of command and accountability during the violence. Further hearings are expected to continue in the coming weeks as the tribunal moves toward concluding witness examinations.
