DEFAMATION CASE
The other two accused are Dr ABM Mahabubul Islam, dean of Law Faculty of Bangladesh Islami University and Advocate Mohammad MoshiulAlam.
Mohammad Abu Shahid Billah of Mohammadpur in the capital filed the case with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court against them for making defamatory statements about the Liberation War. Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Emran Hossain Chowdhury recorded statement of the complainant and took the complaint into cognisance.

Abu Shahid said he fought under Sector Commander Col Kazi Nuruzzaman in Pabna, Dinajpur and Rajshahi and was wounded during the war.
At a conference titled 'Human Rights and Justice' sponsored by Centre for Policy Studies at National Press Club on January 23, Hannan, also former chairman of National Board of Revenue, said there is no scope for banning a political party in democracy.
