2010

International Crimes Tribunal Begins

In 2010, Bangladesh operationalized the International Crimes Tribunal process to prosecute 1971-related crimes under the 1973 law. What had long remained an unresolved justice demand now moved into courts, reopening questions of accountability, public memory, due process, and political legitimacy that soon spilled into mass mobilization and counter-mobilization.

2013

Shahbag Movement

In early 2013, mass gatherings at Shahbag in Dhaka called for stronger accountability for war crimes linked to 1971. Students, bloggers, cultural activists, and citizens transformed the square into a sustained protest space, turning memory politics and justice debates into a central national question.
