Tajul Islam said this while speaking to journalists at the court premises after the issuance of the arrest warrant today (17 October).

He also said that the arrest warrant against former prime minister Sheikh Hasina has been issued as per the government's commitment to bring the mastermind of the July massacre to justice.

"The government's commitment to the dead and the injured in July uprising has been served through this arrest warrant," Tajul Islam said.

During the press briefing, Tajul Islam said that the warrant has been issued based on the government's request and subsequent evidence submission to the ICT.

"We told the tribunal that the crimes that were committed during anti-discrimination student movement were done by influential people, and investigation can't be performed without arresting them. The tribunal has heard our plea and issued a warrant to nab the chief perpetrator, former prime minister Sheikh Hasina," Tajul said.

Tajul further said that the tribunal has issued a second arrest warrant against former road transport and bridges minister Obaidul Quader and 44 others.
