The International Crimes Tribunal on Monday directed prison authorities to produce senior Awami League leaders Amir Hossain Amu and Qamrul Islam before the court on December 4.
The case involves allegations of crimes against humanity, including killings and maiming and other violence, during the 36-day student-led anti-discrimination movement from July 1 to August 5, which culminated in the resignation of Sheikh Hasina as prime minister and her subsequent flight to India.
The tribunal also ordered detention of two former Rapid Action Battalion officials, superintendent of police Mohiuddin Farooqi and former additional superintendent of police of Barishal Police Ranges, Alep Uddin.
Both were arrested in a case filed on November 28, for their alleged involvement in enforced disappearances and torture that also contribute to crimes against humanity during the Awami League regime.
The tribunal, led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder, along with Justice Md Shofiul Alam Mahmood and retired district judge Md Mohitul Haq Anam Chowdhury, issued the directives following petitions by chief prosecutor Mohammad Tajul Islam.
On November 18, Qamrul was arrested by the detective branch of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police at Uttara.
He was later shown arrested in connection with the murder of Abdul Wadud, a trader killed on July 19 during the student movement.
Amir Hossain Amu, a member of the Awami League advisory council, was arrested earlier on November 6 in the same case.
The ICT had issued arrest warrants earlier on October 17 for 46 prominent Awami League leaders, including Sheikh Hasina, in two separate cases.
