Tribunal extends deadline for probe into charges against Hasina by 2 months
DHAKA: Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal, a domestic body, extended on Tuesday the deadline for completing investigations into "crimes against humanity" charges filed against deposed PM Sheikh Hasina to Feb 18.
The investigation agency requested the extension, explaining that the process has to adhere to international standards, which requires additional time. The probe reports for both cases were initially scheduled to be submitted on Dec 17. So far, 15 high-profile individuals, including ex-law minister Anisul Huq and ex-home secretary Jahangir Alam, have been shown as "arrested". On Tuesday, former agriculture minister Abdur Razzaque too was shown as arrested.
