TIB for completion of all war crimes cases
Expressing deep satisfaction over the International Crimes Tribunal's verdict, which sentenced Abul Kalam Azad alias Bachchu Razakar to death, Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) yesterday called for immediate all-out actions to execute it.
The graft watchdog body also demanded completion of all other similar pending cases in an appropriate way ignoring pressure, influence and fear.
Referring to Monday's historic verdict, Iftekharuzzaman, executive director of TIB, said, “This is a milestone … a befitting tribute to the millions of freedom fighters, particularly those who sacrificed their lives and experienced inhuman sufferings in the hands of barbaric perpetrators of war crimes.â€
“January 21 will remain a red letter day in the history of Bangladesh, marking the beginning of a glorious phase of truly proud and meaningful victory after relieving the national agony of unmet justice for too long,†he added.
