Sheikh Hasina and two senior officials have been indicted by Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) for alleged crimes against humanity linked to a crackdown on protests during last July's uprising. The trial is set to begin on August 3, with opening statements and witness testimonies. Hasina, who fled to India after being deposed, faces multiple charges and has received a six-month sentence for contempt of court in absentia. Her regime's violent response to demonstrations has been criticized for resulting in severe human rights abuses and casualties. Hasina dismisses the tribunal as politically driven.
