London lawyer files case against Hasina with ICC at The Hague
Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
Dhaka, Nov 3 - Asraful Arafin, a lawyer of London's 3 Bolt Court Chambers, has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague accusing former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, the ministers of her government and its associated state actors of crimes against humanity.
The complaint was filed in the International Criminal Court (ICC) on 28th October 2024 under Article 15 of the Rome Statute.
This seeks an independent investigation into alleged crimes against humanity by Sheikh Hasina, her cabinet, and associated state actors, supported by detailed accounts, various reports, and video evidence.
"The ICC has also been requested to issue arrest warrants for key suspects, aiming to prevent further impunity. We are committed to update the media on subsequent developments about this case in due course," said a media note received here on Sunday.
Member states of the UN Security Council have veto power over the ICC. - UNB
