What significant step did Bangladesh’s interim government take on October 14, 2025, regarding the trial of military officers?

This move came amid speculation about the trial of 16 serving military officers accused of crimes during the previous Awami League government. The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT-BD) had issued arrest warrants for these officers, but the military claimed they were held in military custody instead. The home ministry did not clarify if the officers would be moved to the newly declared prison, highlighting tensions between civil and military jurisdictions. This development underscores the complex legal and political dynamics in post-government Bangladesh.
