Govt forced to begin war crimes trial
Say speakers
Speakers at a programme yesterday said the process of war crimes trial comes alive, as the issue has become a demand of mass people following years of campaign by some social organisations.
The government was compelled to start the trial as the demand for the trial had taken the shape of a huge social movement following the campaign, they said.

“The young generation has started hating the war criminals following movement for years demanding the trial by some social organisation,” said Manjurul Ahsan Khan, president of Communist Party of Bangladesh.
Executive President of Nirmul Committee Shahriar Kabir said the trial organisations that helped the Pakistani forces in committing crimes against humanity during the liberation war should be also be tried.
Law Minister Shafique Ahmed, State Minister for Culture Promod Mankin, Workers Party President Reshed Khan Menon, JSD President Hasanul Haque Inu, historian Muntasir Mamun and Mahila Parishad President Ayesha Khanam also spoke with Nirmul Committee President Justice Gholam Rabbani in the chair.
