Sheikh Hasina, the former prime minister of Bangladesh, established an international crime judge ( ICT) in 2010 to look into crimes committed during the country’s independence war against Pakistan in 1971. Today, the ICT has initiated three studies into “mass death” against her, according to the court’s analyst, Ataur Rahman.
Over 450 people died in protests against her 15-year authoritarian rule, many of whom were killed by police action, on August 5, prompting Hasina’s exit from the state.
Rahman stated that the court is now gathering preliminary evidence and may eventually visit the crime scenes.
According to Rahman, some of Hasina’s former top aides have been named in the circumstances, and all three of them were brought by private individuals, according to AFP information sources.
The circumstances involve incidents of violence in Mirpur, Munshiganj, and Savar, which are cities or local regions of the money, Dhaka. Additionally, regional authorities models have filed at least 15 cases against Hasina, some of which predate the current turmoil and involve charges of murder and” offences against humanity”.
Under Hasina’s law, the ICT sentenced more than 100 people to death, including several of her political competitors. Rights groups have criticized the ICT for breaking global standards. Her administration was accused of carrying out numerous human rights violations, including the illegal killing of tens of thousands of political opponents.
A preliminary statement from the UN’s report was released on Friday, demonstrating strong evidence that Bangladeshi security forces used excessive force in their response to the student-led rebellion. The document stated,” There are solid evidence, warranting further separate investigation, that the security troops used superfluous and significant force in their response to the situation”.
It even mentioned alleged violations, including “extrajudicial deaths, arbitrary detention and confinement, enforced kidnappings, torture and ill-treatment”. Bangladesh’s time president, Muhammad Yunus, has pledged to provide the needed assistance to UN authorities.
