The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT-1) has ordered the launching of the prosecution in the first case against ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and two others over crimes against humanity charges during last year's July-August uprising.
A three-member ICT bench, headed by the tribunal's Chairman Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder, issued the order on Thursday after rejecting a defence plea to dismiss the charges.
Among the accused, Sheikh Hasina and former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal are absconding. The other accused, facing the same charges in the case, is former Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun.
Meanwhile, former IGP Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun turned approver and admitted his role in the July massacre.
