The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) -2 on Monday fixed June 30 for pronouncing judgment in a crimes against humanity case against former Information Minister Hasanul Haque Inu over the killings of six people in Kushtia during the 2024 July Mass Uprising.

Earlier on May 14, the three-member ICT-2 kept the judgment on CAV (curia advisari vult), meaning the tribunal will pronounce the verdict on any day, after both the prosecution and defence concluded their arguments on that day.

Chief Prosecutor Md Aminul Islam and prosecutor Faruk Ahmed placed arguments for the prosecution, while senior advocate Mansurul Haque Chowdhury argued for Inu.

The ICT-2 on November 2, 2025, indicted Hasanul Haque Inu in the case lodged over the killings of six people in Kushtia during the July-August Mass Uprising. The tribunal framed eight specific charges against the accused.

During the proceedings, 10 prosecution witnesses, including the investigation officer, testified before the tribunal.

Inu was charged with issuing the command to kill six people in Kushtia after communicating with former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina during the uprising.
