Observer Online Report

The hearing of witness testimony is set to begin today in a crimes against humanity case against 22 accused, including ex Foreign Minister Dr. Hasan Mahmud, over the killings of six people, including Wasim, in Chattogram during the July Mass Uprising of 2024.

On Sunday (November 15), proceedings are expected to begin with the prosecution’s opening statement before a three-member judicial panel of International Crimes Tribunal-2, headed by Chairman Justice Nazrul Islam Chowdhury.

On October 19, the tribunal rejected a petition filed by the defence seeking a review of the order framing formal charges. At the same time, it scheduled today for the prosecution’s opening statement and the commencement of witness testimony.

Following that decision, the testimony phase of the case is expected to begin with the deposition of the first witness.
