Event Summary

The Bangladesh — International Crimes Tribunal (Bangladesh) (ICT)-2 is scheduled to deliver its judgment on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, in a crimes against humanity case against former information minister Hasanul Haq Inu. He faces eight specific charges, including allegations related to the killing of six people in Kushtia during the 2024 July Mass Uprising. The prosecution alleges that Hasanul Haq Inu, as president of Bangladesh — Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSD) and a leader in the 14-party alliance, incited violence, instructed police to open fire on protesters, and participated in decisions for a 'shoot-at-sight' policy alongside former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The defense argues that Hasanul Haq Inu was not present in Kushtia at the time of the incident and had no involvement in the killings. Hasanul Haq Inu was arrested on August 26, 2024, and subsequently indicted by the ICT-2 on November 2, 2025. The verdict is highly anticipated and will be broadcast live.
