Says home minister
Bss, Dhaka
Home Minister Sahara Khatun yesterday said formal trial of those who committed crimes against humanity during War of Liberation in 1971 would begin within a month or two. The trial of the well-known war criminals would be completed by the tenure of the present government despite all conspiracy to foil the prosecution, she said. Sahara was addressing a function organised by Bangaj Chikitsa Paribar at the High Court auditorium in the city with Society for Bangaj Chikitsa Paribar Chairman Sagar Sagir in the chair. A vested quarter is out to protect those involved in killing, torture, arson and other crimes against humanity in 1971, Sahara Khatun said.
