DHAKA, Feb 5, 2025 (BSS) - The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) today 
ordered authorities concerned to produce former Awami League lawmaker from 
Chattogram-6 ABM Fazle Karim Chowdhury before it on February 16.
 
The two-member tribunal led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder passed the 
order, allowing a plea of the prosecution.
 
Confirming the matter to BSS, ICT prosecutor BM Sultan Mahmud said they want 
the former lawmaker to be arrested in a case lodged over genocide and crimes 
against humanity, adding, "So we pleaded for issuing production warrant 
against him. Allowing our plea, the ICT set February 16 for producing the 
former lawmaker before the tribunal."
 
The tribunal also issued an arrest warrant against an accused, but the 
prosecution, however, refrained from revealing his identity over security. 
The two-member tribunal also allowed two prosecution pleas for seizing 
necessary documents in two cases.
 
Prosecutors BM Sultan Mahmud, Gazi MH Tamim and Abdullah Al Noman took part 
in the hearing, while prosecutors Abdus Subhan Tarafder, Tarek Abdullah and 
Tanvi Hasan Joha were present, among others.
