Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal-1, led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mojumdar, is set to deliver its verdict in a case against ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and two others over alleged crimes against humanity committed during the July uprising. Prosecutor Gazi Monowar Hossain Tamim confirmed that Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman, both fugitives, will not be entitled to appeal if convicted. Under the Criminal Procedure Code, only arrested convicts can appeal within thirty days, while fugitives lose that right. The only arrested accused, Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, confessed and testified as an approver, stating that he received direct orders from Hasina through Asaduzzaman to use lethal weapons against anti-discrimination student protesters. The investigation report alleges that under Hasina’s directive, lethal force killed about 1,500 unarmed civilians and injured 30,000 others during July–August 2024. The tribunal emphasized that gender or status will not influence sentencing, which will depend solely on the gravity of the crimes.
