The International Crimes Tribunal-1 of Bangladesh is set to issue an order today to frame charges against four accused, including former Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) officers Lt. Col. Redwanul Islam and Maj. Md. Rafat Bin Alam, in a case over the killing of 28 people during the so-called July Revolution in Dhaka’s Rampura area. The tribunal, chaired by Justice Golam Mortuza Mojumdar, will hear the matter with two other members, Justice Shafiul Alam Mahmud and retired judge Mohitul Haque Enam Chowdhury.

Two of the accused, Redwanul Islam and Rafat Bin Alam, are currently in custody and will be produced before the tribunal, while two others — former DMP ADC Md. Rashedul Islam and former Rampura OC Md. Mashiur Rahman — remain absconding. Chief Prosecutor Mohammad Tajul Islam concluded the hearing on charge framing earlier on December 6.

The case marks another significant step in addressing alleged crimes committed during the July Revolution, with the tribunal’s decision expected to shape subsequent proceedings and accountability measures within Bangladesh’s justice system.
