Sheikh Hasina must face trial: Press Secretary

Shafiqul Alam, press secretary to the chief adviser, has opined that Sheikh Hasina must face trial for the massacres.

He said this in a Facebook post today (July 9).

Shafiqul Alam said after this deeply investigated BBC piece on the July uprising and the broadcaster's damning indictment that Hasina ordered the massacres of the protesters, including more than 100 children, the global calls to extradite Hasina to Bangladesh will intensify.

“She must face trial for the massacres. There is no escape for her and all the killers she assembled and used on the Bangladeshi people during her more than 15 years of misrule,” he added.
