Bangladesh ‘mass’ murder case: Deposed PM Sheikh Hasina sued

The Hindu  

An application was filed with a court in Bangladesh on Sunday to register a case against deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and 33 others, accusing them of carrying out a ‘mass’ murder by indiscriminately firing on a rally organised in 2013 by Hefazat-e-Islam, in Dhaka. “Babul Sardar Chakhari, chairman of the Bangladesh People’s Party, applied to the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Zaki-Al-Farabi,” the Dhaka Tribune newspaper reported. More than 230 people were killed in Bangladesh in the incidents of violence that erupted across the country following the fall of the Hasina government, taking the death toll to more than 600 since the massive protest by students against a controversial quota system in government jobs first started in mid-July. Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal on Wednesday started an investigation against the former Premier and nine others on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity that took place from July 15 to August 5 during students' mass movement against her government.
