The International Crimes Tribunal on Sunday released the full verdict in the case concerning the murder of Abu Sayeed, a student of Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur and the first martyr of the July uprising. The tribunal upheld the death sentences of former Assistant Sub-Inspector Amir Hossain and former Constable Sujon Chandra Roy, both currently in prison. The case involves 30 accused individuals, including former university officials and police officers, with six in custody and 24 still absconding.
The tribunal’s decision follows the 2024 killing of Abu Sayeed during an anti-discrimination student movement in Rangpur. Video footage of the incident, showing police firing at Sayeed as he stood with his arms outstretched, sparked nationwide outrage and intensified the movement. The tribunal also noted that verdicts in three other cases are expected later this month.
Meanwhile, in a separate case related to a body-burning incident in Ashulia, the convicted defendants have appealed, arguing that prosecution evidence and witness statements were inconsistent and insufficient to prove their involvement.
