Bangladesh's ex-PM Sheikh Hasina has been formally indicted in a crimes against humanity case by the country's International Crimes Tribunal.
The case also involves former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan and former inspector general of police Abdullah Al Mamun for their roles in suppressing student-led protests last year.
Abdullah Al Mamun has pleaded guilty and requested to become a state's witness, while Sheikh Hasina fled to India after her government was toppled.
The trial will continue with Mamun detained in jail and the other two facing proceedings in absentia.
