Event Summary

The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) in Bangladesh sentenced three former police officials, including former Bangladesh — Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Habibur Rahman, to death for crimes against humanity during the July 2024 uprising. The other two condemned are former DMP assistant deputy commissioner Md Rashedul Islam and former Rampura police station officer-in-charge Mashiur Rahman. Additionally, former sub-inspector Tarikul Islam Bhuiyan received a life sentence, and former assistant sub-inspector Susen Chandra Sarkar was sentenced to 20 years in prison. The charges stem from incidents in Rampura, Dhaka, where two people, Maya Islam and Md Nadim, were killed, and others were injured by police firing. One notable incident involved Amir Hossain being shot while hanging from an under-construction building. Habibur Rahman has received multiple death sentences for his command responsibilities during the uprising that led to the ousting of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
