Ousted PM Hasina charged with crimes against humanity in Bangladesh tribunal
FILE - Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina reviews an honor guard during a welcome ceremony at the government house in Bangkok, Thailand, Friday, April 26, 2024. -- AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit NEW DELH (Bernama): Bangladesh's ousted prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, has been charged with crimes against humanity in a Bangladesh tribunal over the killing of protesters during last year's mass uprising against her rule. Hasina, who fled to India in August 2024 after her regime crumbled following weeks of protests, is being tried by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) of Bangladesh. The tribunal filed formal charges against Hasina and some of her associates on Sunday. "The probe body has brought five charges against the mastermind of the crimes and superior commander Sheikh Hasina, former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, and former inspector general of police Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun," ICT chief prosecutor Muhammad Tajul Islam was quoted as saying by state news agency Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS). About 1,500 people died in the student-led protests that ended the Awami League party's 15-year uninterrupted rule. "The investigation agency seized records of telephonic conversations of Sheikh Hasina, in which she repeatedly confirmed that she ordered all the state agencies to eliminate innocent civilians peacefully protesting for a fair demand, using helicopters, drones and APCs (armoured personnel carriers)," the chief prosecutor said. Armed members of the Awami League and its associate bodies like the Jubo League and student wing Chhatra League are also accused of participating in the brutal crackdown. "They slaughtered the agitating students, injured them and committed crimes against humanity," Tajul Islam said. Bangladesh has asked India to extradite the 77-year-old former leader. The interim government headed by Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus has promised to hold general elections before June 2026. - Bernama

Ukraine attacks Russian nuclear-capable bombers in Siberia
MOSCOW (Reuters) -Ukraine attacked Russian nuclear-capable long-range bombers at a military base in Siberia on Sunday, the first such attack so far from the front lines more than 4,300 km (2,670 miles) away, according to pro-Russian bloggers. Unverified video and pictures posted on social media showed Russian strategic bombers - whose purpose is to drop nuclear bombs on distance targets - on fire at the Belaya air base north of Irkutsk. Reuters was unable to immediately verify the footage but in Kyiv, a Ukrainian intelligence official told Reuters that Ukraine's domestic security agency, the SBU, conducted a large drone attack on over 40 Russian military aircraft. The Ukrainian source, speaking on condition of anonymity to Reuters in Kyiv, said the struck aircraft included Tu-95 and Tu-22 strategic bombers, which Russia uses to fire long-range missiles at Ukraine. Igor Kobzev, the governor of Irkutsk, said that there had been a drone attack on a military unit near the village of Sredny in the Usolsky district, but did not mention strategic aviation. In video that he posted on Telegram, drones could be heard flying overhead and a giant plume of smoke rising into the sky. He said, though, that it was the first such attack in that part of Siberia - and added that the number of drones in the attack was unclear. The drones, he said, had been launched from a truck. The Belaya, or Sredny, airbase is located near the village of Sredny, and hosts Tupolev Tu-22M supersonic long-range strategic bomber, according to open source details about Russia's armed forces. There was also a Ukrainian drone attack in the Murmansk region of northern Russia, according to local officials. The Olenya airbase, which also hosts strategic aviation, is located in the Murmansk region, according to open source data.
