The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has issued arrest warrant against former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and 10 others, including her former Defence Adviser Maj Gen (retd) Tarique Ahmed Siddique and former inspector general of police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed.
The warrant is in connection with two cases related to extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances.
The tribunal, chaired by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Majumdar, issued the orders after the prosecution filed two petitions seeking the arrest of these 11 individuals.
In its directive, the tribunal ordered the authorities to arrest and produce Sheikh Hasina and the others before it by 12 February.
