In a dramatic turn of political and legal events, Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal has formally indicted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on charges of crimes against humanity. The charges stem from her government’s violent suppression of student-led anti-government protests

A Bangladeshi court has issued an arrest warrant for former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India in August after being ousted following mass protests. Hasina is wanted by Bangladesh’s International Criminal Tribunal (ICT) for her alleged involvement in “crimes against humanity” during the protests, which led to the deaths of hundreds of people.
