UN rights office says it had 'reasonable grounds to believe' that crimes against humanity of murder, torture, imprisonment and infliction of other inhumane acts have taken place. These crimes allegedly committed by Hasina's government, along with violent elements of her Awami League party and the Bangladeshi security and intelligence services, were part of a widespread and systematic attack against protesters and other civilians, a UN report on the violence said. Hasina, 77, who fled into exile in neighboring India, has already defied an arrest warrant to face trial in Bangladesh for crimes against humanity.
