Abu Sayeed murder: Charge-framing hearing Sunday
Abu Sayeed martyr of the July 2024 student movement was killed in point blank firing on July 16.
Dhaka, July 28 - The International Crimes Tribunal-2 will hear the charge-framing against 30 accused, including police, in the killing of Begum Rokeya University Student Abu Sayed during the July Uprising.
The three-member bench of the ICT-2 led by its chairman Justice Nazrul Islam Chowdhury will likely frame the charges against the accused.
Six accused in the case, including former assistant sub-inspector Amir Hossain and former constable Sujan Chandra Roy, former Proctor of Begum Rokeya University Shariful Islam, Rafiul, Anwar Pervez and banned Chhatra League leader Imran Chowdhury Asheque were produced before the court amid tight security.
On July 10, the tribunal asked the authorities concerned to publish a notice in newspapers directing 26 accused fugitives to appear before the tribunal in the killing of Abu Sayed.
On June 30, the investigating agency of International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) found involvement of 30 people, including police, in the killing of Abu Sayed.
Abu Sayed, a 12th batch student of Begum Rokeya University's English Department, was killed in the anti-discrimination student movement on July 16 afternoon - thus becoming the first student killed in police firing in the July movement. - UNB
