Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, is set to face trial in absentia after the country’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) formally indicted her on Sunday for her alleged role in the violent suppression of student-led protests last year. The charges include mass killing and several other grave offenses, significantly escalating Hasina’s legal challenges nearly a year after her government’s fall from power.
