Five charges of crimes against humanity have been filed against deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina at the International Crimes Tribunal over attempts to suppress the 2024 July Uprising. The prosecution submitted the formal charges and all documents to the office of the tribunal's registrar on Sunday afternoon. If the court accepts the formal charges, it will officially kick off the trial against ousted Awami League chief Hasina at the same court her government set up to try the war criminals of 1971. After conducting an investigation, a report on the case was submitted on May 12, bringing five charges of crimes against humanity against the accused. Several parties, including Jamaat-e-Islami and the National Citizen Party, have been demanding that the trial of Hasina and the Awami League be completed before the elections.
