Mohammad Tajul Islam, the head of the Bangladesh International Crimes Tribunal ( ICT), stated on Saturday that trials against” top commanders” who are accused of crimes against humanity, including former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, would be finished “within a year.”
Tajul claimed to have spoken with deputy adviser Muhammad Yunus two days prior and was informed that there are” some interests” during a national dialogue held by the Forum for Bangladesh Studies.
The deputy prosecutor claimed that Yunus had stated to him that the prosecution of those who “turned the country into a heaven of death and departure, who stained the ground of Bangladesh with the bloodstream of students,” was his top priority.
” Top leaders or best thieves” are often tried for crimes against humanity, Tajul said and described Hasina as the “nucleus” of the deaths during the July-Aug student-led rebellion.
He said Hasina and some of her colleagues are being given “priority” in the studies. The aim is to finish their studies as soon as possible, and the ICT has that capacity. Tajul stated that the principal accused in the ICT circumstances and the testing of all of them can be finished in a year.
