Hasina, 2 others indicted for crimes against humanity
The International Crimes Tribunal-1 (ICT) on Thursday framed charges against ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina, former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, and former Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun in a case over crimes against humanity committed during the July uprising.
A three-member tribunal, headed by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder, indicted the three on five charges.
The tribunal fixed August 3 and 4 for hearing the prosecution's opening statement.
Of the accused, Mamun was present in court during the proceedings.
Mamun told the tribunal, "I plead guilty. I will make a statement in favour of the prosecution at a later stage."
The court noted Mamun's statement and said it would later decide whether to treat him as an approver.
