Bangladesh has firmed up security arrangements across sensitive areas ahead of the International Crimes Tribunal’s (ICT) announcement of the verdict on deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Monday (November 17, 2025).
A large number of Bangladesh Border Guards personnel were deployed over the weekend in the Awami League stronghold of Gopalganj and nearby areas as the Chief Prosecutor Ghazi Monawwar announced that Bangladesh TV and other outlets would live telecast the verdict by the ICT-1.
The International Crimes Tribunal-1, led by Justice Gholam Mortuza Mozumdar, will pronounce the verdict on Ms. Hasina, who has been accused of ordering the deadly police crackdown that led to the death of hundreds of protesters during July-August 2024.
Dhaka has witnessed a series of mostly predawn clandestine attacks since November 10, including crude bomb explosions at the entrance of the Yunus-founded Grameen Bank headquarters in Mirpur. Security has been tightened across the country to prevent any law-and-order situation.
