Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has issued an arrest warrant for former Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina for alleged involvement in mass killings during violent protests earlier this year.
Student-led protests against job quotas escalated into widespread unrest, with her government’s
violent crackdown leading to almost 200 deaths, including 32 children. In addition, over 60 complaints
have been filed against Hasina and her Awami League party, accusing them of enforced
disappearances, murders and extrajudicial killings.
