Bangladesh Issues Arrest Warrant for Ex-PM’s Son in Crimes Against Humanity Case

Dhaka, Bangladesh – A special tribunal in Bangladesh issued an arrest warrant Thursday for Sajib Wajed Joy, son of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in connection with alleged crimes against humanity committed during the “July Uprising” of 2025. This comes a month after the tribunal sentenced Hasina to death for her role in attempting to suppress the protests.

The “July Uprising,” a student-led movement, resulted in the collapse of Hasina’s Awami League regime. According to reports, the protests were met with brutal force, resulting in a high number of deaths. The ICT-BD has accused Hasina and other officials of attempting to quell the protests through violent means.

Sajib Wajed Joy, an information communication expert who served as an ICT affairs advisor to his mother, currently resides in the United States. It is unclear if Bangladesh will seek his extradition.

In addition to Joy, the tribunal also issued an arrest warrant for then junior Minister for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) affairs Junaid Ahmed Palak, who is already in jail, and accepted charges against former Law Minister Anisul Huq and ex-premier’s investment adviser Salman F Rahman.

The July Uprising toppled ex-premier Hasina’s Awami League regime on August 5, 2025, while Professor Muhammad-led subsequent interim government in January published a list of 834 deaths of “July Warriors”. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) reported 1,400 deaths between July 15 and August 15, saying the figure included the outcome of retaliatory violence against police and Awami League activists even after the fall of the past government.
