On Saturday, Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal released a public notice requesting information on alleged massacres during the recent anti-discrimination student movement. This unrest led to the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5.
The Tribunal's notice follows its issuance of arrest warrants against 77-year-old Hasina and 45 others for alleged crimes against humanity. Citizens are urged to submit any evidence, including documents and photos, to the Tribunal's Dhaka office, with assurances of confidentiality.
The investigation agency detailed how, from July to August, forces associated with the then-government attempted to suppress student protests. The Tribunal has ordered Hasina and others to appear by November 18, amidst ongoing complaints of serious crimes.
