DHAKA, March 25, 2025 (BSS) - The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) today issued arrest warrant against 15 people, including former education minister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Nowfel, former mayors of Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) Md Rezaul Karim Chowdhury and AJM Nasir Uddin over the killing of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal leader Wasim Akram during the July-August mass uprising.

"The three-member tribunal led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder passed the order, allowing a plea of the prosecution," ICT Chief Prosecutor Muhammad Tajul Islam told newsmen.

Wasim took part in the anti-discrimination movement in Chattogram city's Muradpur area on July 16 and was gunned down by the cadres of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL). He is considered to be the second martyr of the anti-discrimination student movement.

Martyr Wasim's mother Josna Akter filed a case on August 18 with Panchlaish Police Station.
