Bangladesh’s prosecution authority has formally submitted charges against Obaidul Quader, the banned Awami League’s general secretary and former bridges minister, along with six others, for alleged crimes against humanity committed during the July Revolution. Prosecutor Gazi M.H. Tamim confirmed the filing on Thursday, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing post-revolution accountability process.
The accused include senior political figures and leaders of affiliated organizations: Awami League joint general secretary A.F.M. Bahauddin Nasim, former state minister for information and broadcasting Mohammad Ali Arafat, Jubo League president Sheikh Fazle Shams Parash, general secretary Mainul Hossain Khan Nikhil, and the banned Chhatra League’s president Saddam Hossain and general secretary Wali Asif Enan. The tribunal is expected to review the charges and decide on issuing arrest warrants soon.
Legal analysts say the case could reshape Bangladesh’s political landscape, testing the judiciary’s independence amid heightened tensions following the July Revolution. The proceedings may also influence future reconciliation efforts and the banned party’s potential rehabilitation.
