Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has claimed that she did not commit any inhumane acts during last year's protests, in an interview with the BBC.
Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal-1 (ICT-1) is set to deliver its verdict on Monday in the anti-humanitarian case against Hasina. Hasina, who is in India, has not given any statement in the case against her. She has been saying that the hearing of the case without her presence is meaningless. In an exclusive interview with the BBC, she said that the drama of the investigation is meaningless as the opposition has deliberately tried to frame her. The government prosecutor has filed a case against her, seeking the death penalty. Security has been tightened at the tribunal in Dhaka for Monday. Hasina has been charged with crimes against humanity during the crackdown on the protests that began last July. Hasina is considered a key player behind the crackdown. She is being investigated for planning murder, attempted murder, torture and other inhumane acts.
Monday's verdict will be a significant event for the relatives of those killed in the movement to oust Hasina and for the entire country.
Members of the United Nations investigation committee have said that nearly 1,400 people were killed in the July-August 2024 protests. However, different studies have shown different numbers of deaths.
