Bangladeshi tribunal prosecution warns army over serving officers’ trial

Dhaka/New Delhi, Oct 21 (PTI): Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal prosecution team on Tuesday warned the army that 15 of their serving officers will be declared “fugitives” unless they were produced in court on Wednesday. “If they fail to appear or are not produced tomorrow, the tribunal will set a new date, and notices with their summons will be published in two newspapers. Non-appearance on that date would lead to them being declared absconding,” ICT-BD Prosecutor Gazi MH Tamim told reporters. He said the tribunal earlier issued arrest warrants against several former and current officers and the police inspector general was ordered to execute that order while “copies of the warrants were also sent to the heads of the (armed) forces concerned”. “Under the International Crimes Tribunal Act, the accused officers can either appear voluntarily or be arrested by the law enforcers and brought to the tribunal,” Tamim said. The ICT-BD issued arrest warrants against 16 serving army officers and 14 others, including deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina, on October 8 for their alleged role in the “enforced disappearances or abduction and torture of political dissidents” during the past Awami League regime. The army in a media briefing on October 11 said they took into “military custody” 15 of the 16 officers soon after ICT-BD issued arrest warrants. However, it declined to have received any copy of any warrant amid anxious speculations over their trial in a civil court under the ICT-BD Act instead of court marshal under the Army Act. ICT-BD Chief Prosecutor Tajul Islam demanded their court appearance for two consecutive days after the army announcement but the military ignored the call. The government, meanwhile, declared a building inside the Dhaka Cantonment as a makeshift “prison” without detailing its purpose while a sense of unease visibly gripped Bangladesh over their trial. Bangladesh Army’s adjutant general Major General Mohammad Hakimuzzaman told during the October 11 press conference that 16 of their officers were asked to report to army headquarters and 15 of them responded and they were kept in military custody. “We acted even before receiving warrants,” Hakimuzzaman said without detailing if they would be produced before the ICT-BD but added that the Army Act does not apply to nine retired officers and police might act upon the warrant. He said the 16th serving officer, a major general who earlier served as the deposed premier’s military secretary, went into hiding but steps were taken to prevent his departure abroad. Several former military officers and security analysts said the serving officer’s production in a civil court under an amended ICT-BD Act instead of army law could affect the morale of the armed forces personnel. Former prime minister Khaleda Zia’s Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), which emerged as the main party in the political landscape, last week cautioned interim government chief Muhammad Yunus against antagonising the army. “We (BNP) want you to maintain a good relation with the armed forces… we don’t want to draw any risk as we will not be able to afford it,” BNP’s standing committee member Salahuddin Ahmed told Yunus during a meeting with political parties. He said the BNP did not want to see the creation of any “imbalance in the armed forces” as “we cannot afford it at this moment” in an oblique reference to planned general elections in February next year. A violent student-led street campaign dubbed as July Uprising ousted the Awami League government on August 5, 2024 when Hasina left for India and three days later Yunus flew in from Paris and took charge of the interim government. Yunus’s administration amended the ICT-BD law to try the leaders of the past regime, including Hasina, appointing Tajul Islam as its chief prosecutor. The ICT-BD was formed by the past government to try hardened collaborators of the Pakistani troops during Bangladesh’s 1971 Liberation War, when Tajul Islam appeared as a key-lawyer to defend the accused. Most Awami League leaders and key figures of the past government are now in jail or on the run at home and abroad but its activists and supporters are trying to make visible their presence by staging flash street marches in Dhaka and elsewhere. Several such flash marches were held in Dhaka streets on Tuesday as well when police arrested at least six activists.

India Re-Establishes Embassy In Kabul After Taliban Foreign Minister Muttaqi's Visit

New Delhi, Oct 21 (PTI) India on Tuesday announced upgrading its technical mission in Kabul to the status of an embassy as part of broader efforts to deepen its bilateral engagement with Kabul. The announcement came over a week-and-a-half after External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said during his meeting with Afghan counterpart Amir Khan Muttaqi that India will upgrade its diplomatic presence in Kabul. India had withdrawn its officials from its embassy in Kabul after the Taliban seized power in August 2021. In June 2022, India re-established its diplomatic presence in the Afghan capital by deploying a "technical team". The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said the Indian embassy in Kabul will further augment India's contribution to Afghanistan's comprehensive development, humanitarian assistance, and capacity-building initiatives. "In keeping with the decision announced during the recent visit of the Afghan foreign minister to India, the government is restoring the status of the technical mission of India in Kabul to that of the Embassy of India in Afghanistan with immediate effect," it said. The MEA said the decision underscores India's resolve to deepen its bilateral engagement with the Afghan side in "all spheres of mutual interest". "The Embassy of India in Kabul will further augment India's contribution to Afghanistan's comprehensive development, humanitarian assistance, and capacity-building initiatives, in keeping with the priorities and aspirations of Afghan society," it said in a statement. The mission will be headed by a diplomat in the rank of Charge d'affaires, it is learnt. Muttaqi was in India this month for six days that signalled a new approach in New Delhi's ties with Kabul though it has not yet recognised the Taliban set up. The foreign minister of the Taliban set-up had said Afghanistan will not allow any elements to use its territory against New Delhi's interests. Muttaqi told a select group of journalists that Kabul will also send diplomats to India as part of step-by-step efforts to improve the bilateral ties. "We will not allow any (element) to threaten anyone else or use the territory of Afghanistan against others. Daesh is a challenge for the region and Afghanistan is at the frontlines of this struggle," he had said.  (Disclaimer: This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

What is methane and what's its role in climate change?

Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, traps significantly more heat than CO2 over a 20-year period, contributing substantially to global warming. While natural sources exist, human activities, particularly from agriculture and the energy sector, are the primary drivers of methane emissions. Simple solutions like fixing leaks and reducing flaring and venting can drastically cut these emissions.

Nepal PM Karki Meets Parties, Discusses General Elections & Gen Z Movement Impact

Kathmandu, Oct 21 (PTI) Nepal's Prime Minister Sushila Karki, for the first time since the formation of the caretaker government last month, met with representatives of major political parties on Tuesday to discuss preparations for the general elections and security issues. The meeting held at the Prime Minister's official residence in Baluwatar was attended by prominent leaders of several political parties of the dissolved House of Representatives, sources said. Karki, 73, became Nepal's first woman prime minister last month after the ouster of then Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli following youth-led 'Gen Z' protests against the government over corruption and a ban on social media. During the meeting, Prime Minister Karki sought cooperation from all the political parties in conducting free and fair elections. The leaders urged the government to create a conducive environment for elections. Karki assured that the interim government is working in accordance with the law. “We will not go out of the spirit of the Gen Z movement,” she said. “We will act through proper procedures and within the law. We are working according to the mandate given to us. Elections will be held, and investigations into corruption are progressing,” she added. Nepal's top electoral body has already announced March 5, 2026, as the date for the House of Representatives election. During the discussion, representatives of those injured in the youth-led Gen Z movement last month advised the government to take firm action against the corrupt politicians. The 18-member delegation of the injured, led by Rupin Khadka, demanded that the government born out of revolution should take revolutionary steps. “Those we protested against are still free. What is stopping the government from arresting them? Is it the rules or the constitution?” Khadka asked. Those present from the government side included PM Karki, Finance Minister Rameshwor Khanal, Energy Minister Kulman Ghising, Home Minister Om Prakash Aryal, Agriculture Minister Madan Pariyar, and Minister for Communications & Information Technology Jagadish Kharel. Gagan Kumar Thapa and Prakash Sharan Mahat from the Nepali Congress; Shankar Pokharel and Pradip Gyawali from the CPN UML; Barsha Man Pun and Pampha Bhusal from the CPN (Maoist Centre); Swarnim Wagle and Sobhita Gautam from the Rastriya Swatantra Party; Rajendra Pandey and Prakash Jwala from the CPN (Unified Socialist); Rajendra Gurung and Mohan Shrestha from the Rastriya Prajatantra Party; Upendra Yadav and Prakash Adhikari from the Janata Samajbadi Party, among others, attended the meeting.  (Disclaimer: This report has been published as part of the auto-generated syndicate wire feed.

Trump Once Again Claims He Prevented India-Pakistan Nuclear Conflict Through Trade Negotiations

US President Donald Trump has once again made a striking claim about his role in preventing potential conflicts between nuclear-armed nations. In a recent statement, Trump asserted that he had averted a war between India and Pakistan, citing trade and tariff negotiations as the key leverage. “I mentioned eight wars. Of the eight, five were based solely on trade and tariffs. India-Pakistan were going at it. Two nuclear powers and serious nuclear. Seven planes shot down…” Trump continued, emphasising that his intervention stopped a possible nuclear disaster. Such claims are consistent with Trump’s history of recounting dramatic, self-congratulatory interventions on the global stage. #WATCH | US President Donald Trump says, "...I mentioned eight wars. Of the eight, five were based solely on trade and tariffs. India-Pakistan were going at it. Two nuclear powers and serious nuclear. Seven planes shot down. They were ready to go and I called them up, I said, you… pic.twitter.com/B2xnO9dECZ — ANI (@ANI) October 21, 2025 Trump elaborated that he had directly called the leaders of India and Pakistan during heightened tensions, warning that proceeding with military action would jeopardise ongoing trade deals. According to Trump, the warning led to a rapid reversal of plans within 24 hours. “I said, you go to war and we're not doing a trade deal, and they said, well, what does one thing have to do with the other? I said, it has a lot, you are nuclear powers, and if you do it, we're not doing a trade deal. 24 hours later, they called me. We have decided not to do it. We stopped the war. We stopped a potential disaster, a nuclear disaster, because of trade,” he claimed. Trump has frequently highlighted his role in averting international crises, often intertwining trade negotiations with national security issues. While critics question the veracity and context of such assertions, Trump continues to frame his tenure as one marked by decisive and unconventional diplomacy.
