Allegations of Corruption and Witness Manipulation at Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal

The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) in Bangladesh, established to address events from July and August 2024, faces allegations of systemic corruption within its prosecution team. Reports reveal a syndicate manipulating 'state witnesses' by exchanging immunity for settlement fees, allowing perpetrators to evade justice while implicating political figures. The dismissal of Chief Prosecutor Mohammad Tajul Islam in February 2026 highlights internal rifts and concerns over judicial malpractice under the current interim administration.
