You’re seeing live pictures from Dhaka, where the trial was held in absentia. Both Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan have fled the country – with Hasina known to be in India. Hasina has been charged of crimes against humanity for the killing of hundreds of people during a student-led uprising in July and August of 2024. The UN says around 1,400 were killed in the violence.
