Police HQ: 673 cases pending against Hasina, including death penalty

Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India following her downing in a student-led uprising, also faces six additional ongoing trials at the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT). While international news agency Reuters recently reported that a London-based legal firm submitted a letter to the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi seeking a new passport and National Identity (NID) card on her behalf, the High Commission in Delhi clarified that Sheikh Hasina herself has submitted no direct application.

Following the fall of the Awami League government on 5 August 2024, the interim government reconstituted the International Crimes Tribunal. On 17 October 2024, the first day of proceedings under the reconstituted tribunal, an arrest warrant was issued against Sheikh Hasina.

The verdict in the case was delivered on 17 November 2025, when International Crimes Tribunal-1 sentenced Sheikh Hasina and her government's former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan to death in absentia for crimes against humanity committed during the July uprising.

Former Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, who turned state witness, was sentenced to five years' imprisonment.

In April 2025, the National Central Bureau (NCB) of Bangladesh Police applied to Interpol for a Red Notice against Sheikh Hasina and 11 others; however, the notice has not yet been issued.
