Dhaka: The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT)-2 has scheduled October 23 for the hearing on charge framing against former Information Minister and Jasad President Hasanul Haque Inu. The case involves allegations of crimes against humanity committed in Kushtia during the July Mass Uprising in 2024. The tribunal’s decision was issued by a three-member panel led by Justice Nozrul Islam Chowdhury.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the tribunal has also granted Inu’s lawyer permission to meet with him for two hours each day over the course of three consecutive days. Advocate Naznin Nahar submitted the request on behalf of the former minister.
The tribunal had previously, on September 25, 2025, taken into cognisance the formal charges against Inu. The prosecution has accused him of committing crimes against humanity, including the killing of six individuals in Kushtia during the July-August student-led Mass Uprising.
Additionally, the ICT-2 has ordered the publication of notices in two national dailies, summoning four individuals, including Awami League leader Mahbub Ul Alam Hanif, to appear before it by October 23 in connection with another crimes against humanity case.
