The International Crimes Tribunal-2 has set April 9 for delivering the verdict in the murder case of Begum Rokeya University student Abu Sayeed, who was killed during the anti-discrimination student movement in Rangpur. The information was confirmed on Thursday morning. Earlier, on June 30, the tribunal accepted formal charges against 30 accused, including the then vice-chancellor Hasibur Rashid. Testimonies from 25 witnesses, including the investigation officer, were recorded during the trial.
Among the 30 accused, six are currently in custody. They include former proctor Shariful Islam, former assistant registrar Rafiul Hasan Russell, former contractual employee Anwar Parvez, former police assistant sub-inspector Amir Hossain, former constable Sujon Chandra Roy, and banned student organization leader Imran Chowdhury alias Akash.
Abu Sayeed, an English department student and one of the coordinators of the quota reform movement, was shot dead by police on July 16, 2024, in front of Begum Rokeya University. His death sparked nationwide protests that later turned into a mass uprising, leading to the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government on August 5. Trials for the July–August killings and crimes against humanity are ongoing in two tribunals.
