Hearing on Sayedee's war crimes resumes today
International Crimes Tribunal resumes today the hearing on the charge framing against Jamaat-e-Islami leader Delawar Hossain Sayedee in connection with crimes against humanity in 1971.
Jail authorities are supposed to produce him before the tribunal as per its earlier order, Tribunal Registrar Shahinur Islam told The Daily Star.
Sayedee's counsels may pray to the tribunal to defer the hearing on the ground that they could not meet him for consultation.
Tajul Islam, one of the counsels for Sayedee, yesterday said they will seek a month's time from the tribunal for hearing the charge framing.
“It is up to the tribunal whether it will grant our time prayer or not. We could not meet Sayedee to consult about the charges against him in jail due to Eid,” he said.
The tribunal adjourned the hearing on August 24.
