Bangladesh's ICT issues fresh arrest warrants against ex-PM, former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal.
Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal on Sunday indicted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and two others on several charges, including mass murder, for their alleged role in the violent crackdown on studentled protests last year.
Sunday's proceedings marked the start of Hasina's trial in absentia nearly 10 months after the ouster of her government following the protests.
"We do hereby take into cognisance the charges," the three-judge ICT-BD bench led by Justice Golam Mortuza Majumdar said after a prosecution team formally accused them of attempting to tame the protests using brutal force.
The tribunal, after hearing a 145-page excerpt during the indictment proceedings, simultaneously issued a fresh arrest warrant against Hasina and then home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal.
The third accused, the then inspector general of police Chowdhury Abdullah AlMamun, is in custody to stand trial in person.
