The war crimes tribunal will deliver its verdict on former Muslim League leader Syed Mohammed Kaiser on Tuesday. Kaiser, a Muslim League leader during the 1971 Liberation War, was later a minister of state in the government of military dictator Hussain Mohammed Ershad. He has been charged with murder, massacre, rape, extortion, arson and torture in 16 cases filed with the International Crimes Tribunal-2. Justice Obaidul Hassan, heading ICT-2, fixed the date of Kaiser’s verdict on Monday. The ICT-2 finished hearing out the defence and the prosecution in Kaiser’s case in August and kept the judgement pending. Thereafter, the tribunal cancelled Kaiser’s bail and sent him to prison. –bdnews24.com
