Bagladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on Sunday ordered jail authorities to produce 14 political leaders, a retired Supreme Court judge, five former police officers, and a dismissed army officer before it.
The three-member tribunal, led by its chairman Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder, also issued warrants for the arrest of former Dhaka Metropolitan Police commissioner Habibur Rahman and 16 other former high-ranking police officials.
The tribunal ordered the production of the 20 on November 18 and 20 and ordered the arrest of the 17 on charges of crimes against humanity linked to the student-people uprising that overthrew Sheikh Hasina from power.
In the face of the uprising, Hasina resigned as prime minister and fled to India on August 5.
