The newly appointed chief prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal, Mohammad Tajul Islam, has stated that Sheikh Hasina, the former prime minister, who is accused of genocide in connection with protests against quota reform, will be returned to Bangladesh to stand trial.
He made the comments on Sunday after taking over as leader while addressing reporters.
Tajul stated that Hasina is the primary accused in most cases, referring to her specifically.
A criminal extradition treaty exists between India and Bangladesh. That arrangement will result in her being returned to the nation.
“Not just Hasina, but all those who were involved in the massacre will be officially tried,” added Tajul.
There are efforts underway to remove the proof of the July atrocity, according to the chief prosecutor for ICT.
Right now, preserving the evidence and incorporating it into the legal system to support the cases is the largest hurdle.
Everywhere in the nation, there is [evidence damage]. Through the preservation of the incidental evidence, efforts will be taken to correctly conclude the genocide trial process.
Tajul declared that the tribunal would appoint more judges.
“I’m hoping that the probe agency will soon appoint officials.”
Tajul, an attorney for the Supreme Court, was named lead prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal on Saturday.
His prosecution team will include four other Supreme Court attorneys.
They include Abdullah Al Noman, BM Sultan Mahmud, Md Mizanul Islam, and Gazi Monawar Hossain Tamim.
Attorney Tajul is on par with the Attorney General in terms of standing.
Tamim and Mahmud will be the deputy attorneys general, while Mizanul, one of the new prosecutors, will be the additional attorney general. Noman is going to be an assistant attorney general.
