Security has been intensified around the International Crimes Tribunal in Dhaka ahead of the verdict announcement in a war crimes case against ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and two co-accused, linked to the July uprising. The tribunal, led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mojumdar, is set to declare the verdict on Thursday. The banned Awami League has announced a 'Dhaka lockdown' program on the same day. Police, RAB, BGB, army, and intelligence personnel have been deployed in and around the tribunal premises, with multiple security perimeters and strict entry checks for the public and journalists. Around 17,000 DMP officers are stationed across key city points, supported by army and border guards. Checkposts at city entrances and hotel inspections have been ongoing since Wednesday to prevent unrest or sabotage.
