Law Adviser Asif Nazrul has announced that the government will request Interpol to issue a red notice for the arrest and return of fugitives including former prime minister Sheikh Hasina allegedly involved in the killings and genocide during the anti-discrimination student movement.
"A red notice will be issued through Interpol very soon. No matter which country the fugitive fascist group is in, they will be brought back to face trial," said the adviser while briefing journalists on Sunday after inspecting reforms at the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT).
"The interim government will take all necessary measures to bring the absconding accused to justice,” he asserted.
Regarding the complaint lodged by the Awami League with the International Criminal Court (ICC), Asif Nazrul said the ICC is unlikely to accept the complaint as it is only a petition.
“The Awami League's complaint was filed solely to tarnish the government's reputation, and there is no reason for it to be accepted,” the adviser added.
ICT chief prosecutor Tajul Islam said the trial of Awami League will be launched as a party after getting instruction from the government.
