DHAKA, Aug 11, 2025 (BSS)- A complete verdict of six month imprisonment to ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina has been published mentioning that she instigated for torching the houses of her rivals and threatened the officials of the tribunal and law enforcing agencies.
The International Crime Tribunal-1 has given six months imprisonment to Sheikh Hasina on charge of contempt of court and two month imprisonment to Chattra League leader Shakil Alam Bulbul.
The three-member tribunal led by Justice M Golam Murtaza Majumder passed the order on July 2 and prosecutor of the tribunal Gazi M H Tamim gave the full copy of the verdict to the journalists today.
The verdict will be effective from the date of arrest or surrender of the accused. The comprehensive judgment also included the audio recording of the conversation between Sheikh Hasina and Shakil Alam Bulbul where Sheikh Hasina instructed to make a list of the officials for taking action in future.
During the conversation, Sheikh Hasina has instigated Bulbul to set fire the houses of the rivals, said the comprehensive verdict.
Mentioning that prosecutor Tanvir Hasan Zoha has investigated the conversation between Sheikh Hasina and Bulbul, the verdict said a journalist named Suman Mia located in Gaibandha first got the leakage audio.
Bulbul had spread the audio conversation among the local journalist and the party leaders. The secret meeting of the Awami League was held on Whats App and Zoom through an online group ‘ateam’, according to the investigation.
Sheikh Hasina gave a provocative speech in that type of meeting on October 25 last year.
