Dhaka: The special tribunal for war crimes in Bangladesh has initiated investigations into former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed concerning cases of mass killings.

The tribunal, speaking to a foreign news agency, revealed that the cases against Sheikh Hasina have been brought forward by the general public. Several of her former aides have also been implicated. The cases involve mass killings, and the tribunal will be thoroughly investigating these crimes.

According to reports, during Sheikh Hasina’s 15-year tenure as Prime Minister, around 450 people were killed in violent protests led by students within just a month. Most of these deaths occurred due to police firing. The widespread student protests across the country forced Sheikh Hasina to resign from her position as Prime Minister, after which she fled to India.

This unfolding situation in Bangladesh is a significant development, marking a critical examination of the actions taken during Hasina’s long-standing leadership. The tribunal’s investigation is expected to uncover further details, which may have profound implications for the nation’s political landscape.
