Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on Thursday issued arrest warrants against former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who was ousted after student-led protests in August, and 45 others for alleged crimes against humanity.

The warrants against Hasina, 77, and others, including her party Awami League’s top leaders, were issued on the first day of the judicial proceedings begun by the re-constituted tribunal, Dhaka Tribune newspaper said. The tribunal passed the orders after the prosecution filed two petitions seeking arrest warrants. The ICT also directed the authorities concerned to produce Hasina and 45 others before it by November 18.
