Bangladesh Tribunal to deliver verdict against Hasina on Nov 17
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT-BD) on Thursday announced it would deliver the verdict against deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina on November 17 after her trial in absentia on charges of crimes against humanity.
“The three-judge tribunal set November 17 for delivering the verdict,” a journalist attending the tightly secured special court in the capital told PTI.
Hasina, her home minister in the ousted Awami League government, Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and then inspector general of police (IGP) or police chief Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun were tried in the tribunal. The ex-premier and Kamal were tried in absentia, with the court declaring them fugitives.
Meanwhile, Hasina’s party Bangladesh Awami League has called for a nationwide dawn-to-dusk lockdown today in protest. The party leadership has also alleged a political vendetta behind the charges, claiming that the proceedings are aimed at silencing the former Prime Minister and dismantling her party’s influence.
