US EditionBangladesh: Hearing in Hasina’s Crimes Against Humanity Case on July 1
- Sheikh Hasina, the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh who was removed from office last year and is currently living in self-imposed exile in India, is scheduled to face an indictment hearing for alleged crimes against humanity on July 1 in Dhaka.
- This legal action follows the August 5, 2024 regime change that ousted Hasina after a student-led uprising and led to investigations of abuses during her nearly 16-year rule.
- The Bangladesh government-appointed Commission of Inquiry found over 250 enforced disappearance cases during Hasina's tenure, warning a continuing "culture of impunity" in security forces.
- Commission Chief Moyeenul Islam Chowdhury stated responsibility lies with individual officers, not the armed forces institutionally, and rights groups urged full cooperation and access for the inquiry.
- The ongoing trial and investigations imply continued political tensions under interim leader Muhammad Yunus, as elections are expected early next year amid pressure and power struggles.
