On August 13, 2018, the International Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh (ICTB) sentenced five people to death for crimes against humanity during the state’s 1971 war of independence from Pakistan. The three-member panel unanimously found the men guilty of “abduction, confinement, torture, murder, and rape” and “responsible for the offences as enumerated in the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act, 1973 committed in violation of international humanitarian law in the territory of Bangladesh in 1971, during the war of liberation.” The Tribunal found that the convicted men were also part of the Razakar Bahini, a paramilitary force who were collaborating with the then occupying Pakistan army. Bangladesh has executed six men from convictions at the ICTB since 2010, when Bangladesh initiated the process of trying 1971 war criminals.
