Chief Prosecutor of International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) advocate Md Tajul Islam has written to IGP Md Moinul Islam, urging him to take initiatives to issue red notice through Interpol to bring back former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and other fugitives.
Tribunal prosecutor BM Sultan Mahmud confirmed the matter to the media on Tuesday noon.
Earlier on 10 November, law adviser Prof Asif Nazrul said red notices will be issued soon through the Interpol against the fugitive accused including Sheikh Hasina involved with the July-August killing.
He said fugitive fascist elements, regardless of where they may be in the world, will be held and brought to justice.
He assured that the government would put in maximum effort to ensure these people are returned to face trial.
Asif Nazrul alleged that Awami League lodged baseless complaints against the government with the International Crimes Tribunal in Netherlands’ Hague to tarnish the image of the country.
Over 50 allegations of ‘genocide and crimes against humanity’ have been filed with the International Crimes Tribunal’s investigation agency and prosecution office from across the country in connections with the July-August student-people uprising.
The tribunal has since issued arrest warrants for Hasina in one case and 45 others, including her family members and Awami League leaders, in another case.
