The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) today ordered prison authorities to produce former ministers Amir Hossain Amu and Advocate Qamrul Islam before it on December 4. The three-member tribunal led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder passed the order, allowing a plea of the prosecution. Confirming the information to BSS, Prosecutor Abdullah Al Noman said the tribunal issued the production warrant under ICT BD miscellaneous case 03/2024.
The two former ministers are likely to be shown arrested in a case filed over murder, genocide, and crimes against humanity committed by the last Awami League government while trying to quell the student-led July-August mass uprising.
