The International Crimes Tribunal-1 on Sunday ordered the start of trial proceedings against 28 accused, including former Dhaka South City mayor Fazle Noor Taposh and former minister Jahangir Kabir Nanak, in connection with the killing of nine people during the July uprising in Mohammadpur, Dhaka. The tribunal rejected discharge petitions and read out three specific charges before setting June 8 for opening statements and the first witness testimony. Four of the accused, currently in custody, were produced before the court.
According to the prosecution, the accused include former senior police officials and leaders of banned local units of the Awami League, Jubo League, and Chhatra League. The charges allege that between July 17 and 19, 2024, law enforcement and political activists opened fire on unarmed protesters, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries. The prosecution claims the attacks were carried out under the knowledge and direction of the accused.
Investigators submitted their report against 28 individuals after probing the violence. The chief prosecutor stated that 50 witnesses will testify against the accused, who face charges of crimes against humanity for their alleged roles in the killings and assaults.
