The prosecution has formally filed charges against Bangladesh Workers Party President Rashed Khan Menon and former Food Minister Kamrul Islam for alleged crimes against humanity linked to killings during the July uprising. The charges were submitted on Tuesday afternoon at the International Crimes Tribunal, confirmed by prosecutor Gazi M.H. Tamim.

According to the prosecution, Menon and Kamrul are accused of involvement in two killings that occurred during the July uprising. Both political figures have been in custody since August 5, 2024, following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government.

The tribunal’s acceptance of the formal charges marks a significant step in the ongoing investigation into the July uprising incidents, though further details on the next phase of proceedings were not provided in the report.
