International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) Chief Prosecutor Tajul Islam has said that the arrest warrant issued on 17 October for 46 individuals, including former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, over alleged crimes against humanity during the July-August uprising, has been forwarded to the Inspector General of Police (IGP).

Tajul made the announcement during a visit to the tribunal on Wednesday morning, accompanied by Industries Adviser Adilur Rahman Khan and Law Adviser Asif Nazrul.

"The legal process against those involved in the massacre is progressing swiftly," Chief Prosecutor Tajul said after the visit.

This is the first time an arrest warrant has been issued for Hasina since her government fell on 5 August.
