Former PM Sheikh Hasina



Trial proceedings for the July-August genocide, which took place during the anti-discrimination student movement, have begun, and an arrest warrant has been issued against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as part of these developments.

Sources at the International Crimes Tribunal revealed the information on Thursday.
The tribunal ordered that Sheikh Hasina must appear before the court by November 18.
Earlier reports suggested that the prosecution would seek arrest warrants against 50 people, including Sheikh Hasina, in connection with the atrocities that took place during the July-August period.
The trial, now in progress, marks a significant step towards justice for the alleged crimes committed during the movement, with the international community closely watching the developments, reports UNB.
