War crimes trial to build rule of law
Says Dipu Moni
Foreign Minister Dr Dipu Moni yesterday said the rule of law in the country would be established by completing the trial of war criminals.
"The government has started the trial of war criminals who committed crimes against humanity during the War of Liberation in 1971 and the trial would be completed during the tenure of the present government," she said.
She was addressing as the chief guest a discussion organised by Dhaka City Chhatra League (south) where State Minister for Law Qamrul Islam was present as the special guest.
Qamrul said the trial of at least six people who led war criminals during the War of Liberation in 1971 would be completed by next year.
Critisising the main opposition BNP, the state minister said they have become desperate to save the war criminals.
He rejected the TIB report and said the organisation is out to tarnish the image of the main organs of the government by presenting baseless reports.
With Dhaka City Chhatra League (south) President Anisur Rahman Anis in the chair, the discussion was also addressed, among others, by parliament members Mizanur Rahman Dipu, Sanjida Khanam and Nazrul Islam Babu, Bangladesh Chhatra League President Mahmud Hasan Ripon and General Secretary Mahfuzul Haider Chowdhury Rotan.
