She and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan are being tried as fugitives in absentia at the country’s International Crimes Tribunal.
The third accused in the case, Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, became a state witness and offered to disclose full details of Hasina and Khan’s alleged crimes.
Islam has said that Mamun’s confession appears to be truthful and comprehensive, and the ICT will consider his cooperation when determining the verdict in the case, according to Bangla-language Prothom Alo newspaper.
