The government will not announce any roadmap to war crimes trial but it might start the trial before December this year even before the ultimatum placed by Ekattorer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee.
Law Minister Shafique Ahmed said this at a media briefing at his secretariat office yesterday also adding, “The trial will start after arranging all the logistics involved with the trial.”
Nirmul Committee leaders on Friday issued an ultimatum to the government to announce a roadmap for holding the trial by September 30, or they would go for a movement demanding start of the trial.
He said the government was working on preparing the courtroom, private chambers of the judges and office rooms for Lawyers and investigators.
The court will be set up at a well-secured and protected building, he added.
The law minister said the government has already got support from different countries and international agencies in this regard.
“There is no pressure from any country for not holding the trial of war crimes,” he said.
Shafique Ahmed said those found guilty of committing offences against humanity during the liberation war would be put into trial.
Nobody will be harassed with any political intention in the name of trial of the war criminals, he added.
