A Bangladesh tribunal has scheduled the next hearing for September 3rd in a case concerning alleged crimes against humanity related to the 2013 Hefazat-e Islam protest at Shapla Chattar in Dhaka’s Motijheel area. The case includes 41 accused, notably former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The International Crimes Tribunal-2, led by Justice Nazrul Islam Chowdhury, announced the date during a hearing on Sunday, August 16th. The charges stem from the alleged killings during the large Hefazat-e Islam gathering. This case revisits a controversial event marked by significant political tension and violence. Details regarding the specific charges against Sheikh Hasina and other defendants remain under scrutiny. The tribunal’s decision to proceed with the hearing marks a renewed focus on accountability for the 2013 events.
