Also on Wednesday, a court in Dhaka accepted an enforced disappearance case against Hasina and five other top officials filed by lawyer and victim Sohel Rana. Hundreds were allegedly abducted by government forces over the past decade and a half.

Two murder cases have also been opened against Hasina and several others, one over the killing of a college student and another over the killing of a grocer — both on July 19 — amid nationwide protests against the civil service quota system.
