Bangladesh tribunal tells investigators to finish probe against ousted premier Hasina by next month

Associated Press  

DHAKA, Bangladesh — A special tribunal in Bangladesh on Monday told investigators they have one month to complete their work on ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her close aides, who face charges of crimes against humanity after hundreds of people were killed in a mass uprising this summer. Golam Mortuza Majumdar, the head judge of the three-member International Crimes Tribunal, set Dec. 17 for investigators to finish their work, as the tribunal heard updates Monday from police about what the country’s security agencies have done to arrest Hasina and her close aides. Mohammed Tajul Islam, chief prosecutor of the tribunal, told the judges during Monday’s hearing that they were working in line with an extradition treaty signed earlier with India to make Hasina’s return possible. At least 13 people, including a former law minister and a businessman who was Hasina’s private-sector adviser, appeared before the tribunal on Monday, said B.M.
