Sayedee to face tribunal on Sep 21
The International Crimes Tribunal yesterday directed the prison authorities to produce detained Jamaat-e-Islami Nayeb-e-Ameer Delwar Hossain Sayedee before it on September 21 in connection with 1971 war crime charges.
The tribunal also fixed September 21 for holding hearing on the eight applications earlier filed by Sayedee and four other Jamaat leaders, said Registrar of the Tribunal Shahinur Islam yesterday.
On August 10 this year, the tribunal directed the prison authorities to produce Sayedee before it on August 24, but the tribunal yesterday deferred the date as the structural reform of the court building is going on.
The four other Jamaat leaders who earlier filed the petitions are Motiur Rahman Nizami, Ali Ahsan Muhammad Mojahid, Muhammad Kamar uzzaman and Abdul Quader Molla.
They filed applications for withdrawal of the tribunal orders that earlier issued arrest warrants against them. The applications also sought the court orders to acquit them of the war crime charges and for necessary documents and papers.
