Judges for new tribunal within 3 days
State Minister for Law Qamrul Islam yesterday said judges for the second International Crimes Tribunal would be appointed within two to three days.
The new tribunal will start its work from this month, said the state minister after visiting the courtroom for the new tribunal at the Old High Court building.
“The logistical and infrastructural work of the new tribunal has been finished,” he said while replying to the journalist's questions. “The names of the judges would be disclosed within three to four days.”
Replying to another query, Qamrul Islam admitted that the courtroom for the new tribunal is small with a limited sitting capacity.
“Let's begin with this [courtroom], and let's see what can be done later,” he said.
The first International Crimes Tribunal was formed on March 25, 2010 with Justice Md Nizamul Huq as its chairman. Its two other members are HC Judge ATM Fazle Kabir and a retired district judge AKM Zaheer Ahmed.
Qamrul said some of the cases being handled by the present tribunal could be transferred to the second tribunal.
