**Bangladesh Court Sets Indictment Hearing for Ex-PM Hasina on Crimes Against Humanity Charges**

*Dhaka, Bangladesh -* The International Crimes Tribunal in Bangladesh has scheduled July 1st for the indictment hearing of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and two other officials in a case concerning alleged crimes against humanity. The announcement was made on Tuesday, June 24th, 2025.

Ms. Hasina, along with former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, faces accusations related to their alleged involvement in a mass uprising that occurred in July and August of 2024. This uprising ultimately led to the ousting of Hasina’s Awami League regime, which had been in power for nearly 16 years. Ms. Hasina is currently residing in India.

The tribunal, led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder, issued the hearing date after the accused failed to comply with a notice demanding their surrender to the court. If the accused continue to fail to appear, the tribunal has indicated it will proceed with the trial in absentia, citing the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act of 1973.

The prosecution has leveled five formal charges against Ms. Hasina, Mr. Kamal, and Mr. Al-Mamun. The Crime Tribunal’s investigation agency submitted its report on the case, which focuses on crimes against humanity and mass killings, on May 12th.
