Sayedee's Treatment

ICT directive to jail authorities

Staff Correspondent
The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) yesterday directed the jail authorities to arrange treatment for Jamaat-e-Islami Nayeb-e-Ameer Delwar Hossain Sayedee at Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital alongside Birdem Hospital. The tribunal on April 20 directed the prison authorities to provide treatment to Sayedee only at Birdem Hospital. The court yesterday passed the order as Sayedee filed a petition with it recently, saying the doctors of Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital refused to give him treatment, as the court only mentioned the name of Birdem Hospital in its earlier order. Meanwhile, the court directed the prisons authorities to use suitable transport while shifting the five Jamaat leaders, who are accused of war crimes charges, to other places from the jail, if necessary. The five Jamaat leaders are Ameer Motiur Rahman Nizami, General Secretary Ali Ahsan Mojahid, Nayeb-e-Ameer Delwar Hossain Sayedee, and Senior Assistant Secretaries General Muhammad Kamaruz-zaman and Abdul Quader Molla.
