Former ministers Amir Hossain Amu and advocate Qamrul Islam have been produced before the International Crimes Tribunal in connection with a genocide case.

They were presented before the court at about 10:00am, according to the prosecution.

On December 2, the ICT directed the relevant authorities to produce them on Wednesday.

It has been reported that the duo will be shown arrested in a case filed on charges of crimes against humanity and genocide allegedly committed during the July-August mass uprising.
