Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh has welcomed the International Crimes Tribunal’s death sentence for Sheikh Hasina, describing it as a triumph of justice and a defeat for what it called India’s conspiracy to obstruct the trial of fascists. In a statement issued on Monday, the group’s leaders Allama Muhibullah Babunagari and Allama Sajedur Rahman said the verdict ensured justice for victims and strengthened Bangladesh’s struggle against fascism and dominance. They asserted that the ruling marked the end of impunity for authoritarian forces and urged the government to prosecute those responsible for the July massacre, the Pilkhana killings, and the Shapla Chattar incident. Hefazat also demanded the banning of the Awami League and Jatiya Party, labeling them as collaborators of Indian hegemony. The group further called for the implementation of the July Charter through a national referendum to establish a just and citizen-friendly state. Hefazat praised the tribunal’s prosecutors for ensuring what it termed exemplary justice.
