Bangladesh’s International Crime Tribunal (ICT) on Tuesday (August 12, 2025) dismissed the petition to allow senior advocate ZI Khan Panna of the Supreme Court to represent former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The matter is related to anti -humanity crimes associated with the protests that started in July last year.

Analysts believe that this decision is injustice to the judicial process and has violated Hasina’s right to rescue. Advocate Najnin Nahar filed this application on behalf of Panna.

According to local media, while hearing the petition in the testimony, the Tribunal said that it cannot be accepted. ICT remarked, “The train has already left the station, it is not possible to ride in it by informing the station master. There is no opportunity to appoint a new lawyer in this phase of the case.” The tribunal said that the Supreme Court lawyer Amir Hussain has already been appointed by the state to advocate Hasina.,

In which case the case on Sheikh Hasina is going on?

Significantly, on August 3, the prosecution started its action against Hasina and two others in the case of anti -human crime in ICT. The co-accused include former Home Minister Asdujman Khan Kamal and former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chaudhary Abdullah Al Mamoon. After the proceedings, Awami League termed the allegations leveled against his leadership as politically motivated and called it a conspiracy of the illegal interim government led by Mohammad Yunus.

The leader of the Awami League told the Yunus government

Awami League leader Mohammad A. Arafat said, “Neither former Prime Minister Hasina nor he has received a formal information about the case, which reflects the absurd action of this non-elected government. It is part of the conspiracy of a non-elected occupiers, which is desperate to end democratic legitimacy, silence the opposition and remain in power. Such a government has no legal and no moral rights that it has been prosecuted for the public. Parliament has the right to amend the law passed by Parliament. ”

He said that any democratically elected leader should not be prosecuted to perform constitutional duties while facing violent rebellion.

Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina criticized the current interim government on the completion of one year of democratically elected Awami League government in Bangladesh on Tuesday (August 5, 2025). He appreciated the countrymen for standing against injustice and repression.

In an open letter to the people of the country, Sheikh Hasina wrote, “A year ago, our country saw violent disruption in democracy achieved by our difficult struggles, when a non-elected regime took power in unconstitutional ways. It was a black moment in our history. It was an insult to the public’s will and the state was betrayed.”

Sheikh Hasina praised the courage of the people of Bangladesh

Criticizing the interim government led by Mohammad Yunus, Hasina wrote, “Even though he has taken power, he will never be able to take away our spirit, our resolve or our fate. I can assure you.” He praised the extraordinary courage of the people of Bangladesh, who has refused to remain silent in front of injustice and repression.

In the letter, he wrote, “You raised their voice for democracy, freedom and the future that we all deserve. I am constantly inspired by your courage and your love for the country. Although this has been tested by us last year, but it has also highlighted the unbreakable bond between our people and the values of democracy. We have faced difficulties, but we have found unity and purpose in those difficulties.”

What is broken, we will all make it together- Hasina

Hasina wrote, “The power belongs to the people, no governance can suppress the willpower of a nation forever and their struggle continues for just purposes.” The former Prime Minister urged people to stand for justice, economic opportunity, education, peace and a nation where no one is in fear. He wrote, “We will all re -create what we have broken together. We will all together recover the institutions that were taken away from us. We will all write a new chapter, which will be defined not by harassment, but from hope, progress and freedom.”

Our best days are yet to come, beautiful lady

The former Prime Minister wrote, “Bangladesh has faced adverse circumstances earlier. We will stand up again and even strong and even stronger and even more united and more determined to build a democracy that really serves my people. I believe in you. I believe in Bangladesh and I believe that our best days are yet to come.” Hasina appealed in the letter to remember as a call for the bright tomorrow.
