Rakib Hossain, an 11-year-old, was killed by police during protests in Dhaka in July last year. Over 1,400 people died in the crackdown against the mass uprising against Sheikh Hasina. Armed police used live ammunition on civilians under shoot-to-kill orders. Hasina fled Bangladesh amid the protests and faces trial for crimes against humanity, including murder and torture. The trial is set for 3 August, with Hasina currently in India and unlikely to return. The court was established by Hasina while in power, and she has been assigned a state-appointed lawyer for the proceedings.
The majority of the deaths occurred during the protests against Sheikh Hasina, driven by her harsh crackdown with shoot-to-kill orders against civilians, resulting in over 1,400 fatalities.
The trial of Sheikh Hasina is set to begin on 3 August, where she faces charges of crimes against humanity, including inciting murder and torture during the July revolution.
