The Bangladesh Army has said it took 15 of its officers into custody following warrants issued against 30 over alleged involvement in enforced disappearances and crimes against humanity. The information was revealed at a media briefing at the Army Headquarters on Saturday amid calls to arrest and prosecute the suspects. The International Crimes Tribunal on Wednesday issued arrest warrants against 30 people after accepting charges filed by the prosecution in two cases involving crimes against humanity for the abduction and torture of political dissidents during the Awami League regime. Of the 30 suspects, 25 are current or former Army officers, the media briefing said. 15 serving officers are now in military custody, while one remains on the run.
