Bangla Press Desk: A new witness in the crimes against humanity case against Sheikh Hasina, Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, at the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT)-1 on Monday said he heard then prime minister ordering hospital authorities not to release any patients, who got injured while taking part in the anti-discrimination movement, and not to provide them any treatment.
"...I was taken from the Mitford Hospital to National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), after getting shot by police in the Bijoynagar area on 19 July. Then prime minister Sheikh Hasina came to the hospital on 26 or 27 July. She talked with me and realised I was an anti-discrimination activist. After that, she talked to four or five more patients at the hospital. As she was going out, I heard she was ordering the people at the hospital help desk, 'no release, no treatment'," said second prosecution witness (PW) Abdullah Al Imran.
The witness, who lost his left leg in the police firing, said he was shot below his left knee in the Bijoynagar Water Tank area around 3pm on 19 July 2024, adding that two other protesters were killed on the spot.
"At first, I was taken to different private hospitals, but they refused to provide me with any treatment. Later, I was taken to Mitford (Sir Salimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital). There, doctors wanted to amputate my leg. Even though I agreed to do so, my well-wishers were reluctant and I was shifted to NITOR," he added.
