A special tribunal in Bangladesh has given investigators one month to complete their work on ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her close aides. They are facing charges of crimes against humanity following a mass uprising this summer that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people.
The head judge of the International Crimes Tribunal set December 17 as the deadline for investigators to finish their work. Prosecutors had requested more time for the investigation, citing the need to work in line with an extradition treaty signed with India to facilitate Hasina's return.
