War Crimes Trial
11-party protests BNP's remarks
The 11-party alliance of left-leaning parties said BNP's audacious remarks against the spirit of the Liberation War have unmasked the party's link with anti-liberation forces.
“The party is trying to protect people who oppose Bangladesh's independence earned through the ultimate sacrifice of 30 lakh martyrs,” said a press release signed by Mahmudur Rahman Babu, convener of the 11-party alliance.
While the United States has supported the trials of war criminals in other countries, it would not do the same here in Bangladesh as the US had assisted in the war crimes during 1971, the alliance said.
Now, Bangladeshi people would reject the US like they did in 1971, it added.
