A court has issued arrest warrants against Sheikh Hasina and eight others in a case filed by Hefazat-e-Islam over the alleged Shapla Chattar massacre. The accused include former Home Minister Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir, former IGPs Hassan Mahmud Khandaker and Benazir Ahmed, as well as Imran H. Sarker of the Gonojagoron Moncho. Since Shamsul Haque Tuku, Shahidul Haque, Ziaul Ahsan, and Molla Nazrul Islam are already in prison, the court has ordered their formal arrest in this case. Hefazat-e-Islam initially filed charges against 50 individuals, including Sheikh Hasina, at the tribunal’s prosecution on November 27.
