'71 war heroes want justice before death
Speakers at a condolence meeting yesterday called upon the government to finish off the war crimes trial without any delay and said people do not want to see any more death of war hero before the trial ends.
The meeting was organised to condole the death of Lt Col (retd) Quazi Nooruzzaman Bir Uttam, commander of sector no. 7, a veteran freedom fighter who died on May 6.
The speakers said Nooruzzaman was fortunate, as he could at least see the beginning of trial.
"It was his dream. But unfortunately he cannot see the end of the proceedings," said Jhuna Choudhury, a noted cultural personality.
Maj Gen (retd) KM Shafiullah Bir Uttam, Dr Kamrul Hasan Khan, Ramendu Majumder, lawmaker Rashed Khan Menon, columnist Syed Abul Moksud, and Afjal Hossain also spoke.
Freedom fighter Monsur Ali Sarker presided over the condolence programme organised by Sammilito Sangskritik Jote on the Central Shaheed Minar premises.
