Sector commanders for trial of war criminals

Our Correspondent, Dinajpur
Sector Commanders Forum, a platform of sector commanders of the Liberation War, said die government should lodge cases against war criminals and hold trials since the war criminals are the enemies of this state.
"We have to complete the unfinished task of our Liberation War at the twilight of our lives and bring the war criminals to book since successive political governments failed to materialise our demands," said sector commander Maj Gen (retd) CR Dutta.
The forum organised a reunion of freedom fighters at Dinajpur Lok Bhaban Auditorium yesterday as part of its nationwide campaign for trial of war criminals.
"The time has come for the proliberation forces to be united and resist the anti-liberation war forces," they said urging the government to form an enquiry commission and gather information about war criminals.
Mokchhed Ali Mongolia, convener of Dinajpur District Command of Muktijoddha Sangsad, presided over the meeting and Shafiqul Haque Chhutu, secretary general of Muktijoddha Sangsad and chairman of Dinajpur Municipality delivered the inaugural speech.
Several hundred freedom fighters and a number of pro-liberation organisations from four northern districts—Dinajpur, Thakurgaon, Panchagarh and Joypurhat--gathered at the reunion.
Sector commander Maj Gen (retd) KM Safiullah Bir Uttam said the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act. 1973 is enough to try the war criminals.
Calling for the restoration of the
non-communal constitution of 1972, CR Dutta said vested quarters often used and amended the constitution to serve their interest.
The speakers urged the government to seek assistance from the United Nations General Assembly and engage internationally recognised jurists with the enquiry commission.
Deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Liberation War air vice-marshal (retd) AK Khandker urged freedom fighters to continue their campaign against the war criminals until their trials are complete.
He urged all to boycott the upcoming elections if war criminals run for parliament membership. He said the government should ban all fundamentalist and extremist parties who mislead people in the name of Islam.
