Dhaka,
Nov 12 (UNB)-Chief Prosecutor of International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) advocate
Md Tajul Islam has written to IGP Md Moinul Islam to take initiatives to issue
red notice through Interpol to bring back former prime minister Sheikh Hasina
and other fugitives.
The chief prosecutor
sent a letter to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) in this regard on
Tuesday, sources at the tribunal said.
On November 10, 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 it maximum effort to ensure these people are returned to
face trial.
Asif Nazrul alleged that
Awami League lodged baseless complaints against the government to the
International Crimes Tribunal in Netherlands' Hague to tarnish the image of the
country.
Earlier on October 17, a
three member ICT bench led by its Chairman Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mazumdar
issued arrest warrants for 46 accused including Sheikh Hasina and former
minister Obaidul Quader in separate cases.
