DHAKA: The Bangladesh International Crimes Tribunal on Wednesday issued warrants for the arrest of former PM Sheikh Hasina , her security adviser Major General (retd) Tarique Ahmed Siddique and 26 others in two separate cases filed over alleged " enforced disappearances " during the Awami League govt's tenure.
The tribunal accepted the charges filed by the prosecution, including those of "crimes against humanity" and issued the arrest warrants after a hearing.
While one case pertains to abduction of opposition activists and their torture at the Taskforce Interrogation Cell - allegedly run by the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), the other is relates to detentions and torture at the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence's Joint Interrogation Cell.
Hasina , 78, faces multiple cases after being ousted last year following mass student-led agitation in the country.
