The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT)-1 on Wednesday took into cognizance the charges brought by the prosecution against two alleged war criminals from Habiganj and Kishoreganj.
The two accused are Liakat Ali and Aminul Islam alias Razab Ali. Of the two, Liakat is in jail. The tribunal today also issued arrest warrant against Aminul Islam.
“Liakat and Aminul had carried out mayhem in Habiganj, Kishoreganj and Brahmanbaria along with their men in 1971,” said senior prosecutor Rana Dasgupta.
Liakat, former president of Lakhai upazila Awami League in Habiganj, was involved with Muslim League along with his maternal uncle in 1970. Later, he joined Razakar Bahini.
On the other hand, Aminul was a member of Islami Chhatra Sangha, then student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami and became Al-Badr leader in his locality in 1971. The self-proclaimed Al-Badr man also wrote a book titled “Ami Al-Badr Bolchhi.”
Justice Anwarul Haque, chairman of the three-member panel of the ICT-1, set June 21 for holding hearing on indictment in the case.
