The three-member tribunal, led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder, passed the order on Sunday following a plea from the prosecution. Chief Prosecutor Md Tajul Islam told the tribunal that "hundreds of extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances" had taken place during the period. Among them, 300 victims were killed. The investigation agency has so far visited several sites linked to enforced disappearances, including a so-called "detention centre" at the RAB-1 office in Uttara, where victims were allegedly kept. According to the prosecution, torture equipment used on victims after abduction was also recovered from these locations.
