Verdict against Inu in crimes against humanity case today

The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) - 2 is set to pronounce its judgment on Tuesday in a crimes against humanity case against former Information Minister Hasanul Haque Inu over the killings of six people in Kushtia during the 2024 July Mass Uprising.

“The ICT-2 will deliver its judgment at around 1:30 pm. The proceedings would be broadcast live,” said prosecutor Gazi MH Tamim.

The second tribunal on June 22 set June 30 to pronounce the verdict in the case.

The three-member ICT-2 on May 14 kept the judgment on CAV (curia advisari vult), meaning the tribunal will pronounce the verdict on any day after both the prosecution and defence concluded their arguments on that day.

Chief Prosecutor Md Aminul Islam and prosecutor Faruk Ahmed placed arguments for the prosecution while senior Advocate Mansurul Haque Chowdhury argued for Inu.

The ICT-2 on November 2, 2025, indicted Hasanul Haque Inu in the case lodged over the killings of six people in Kushtia during the July-August Mass Uprising. The tribunal framed eight specific charges against the accused.
