Call to start trial of war criminals without delay

DU Correspondent
Speakers at a discussion yesterday said people would get frustrated if the government delays starting the process of the trial of war criminals, terming it a sensitive issue.
The government is committed to holding the trial as the ruling party had incorporated the issue into its election mani-festo. which has been a popular demand, they adder!.
The anti-liberation forces have already started many conspiracies to keep the issue at bay, seeing the government s delay in starting the process.

The 14th Decemberer Dal, an organisation of youths, organised the discussion at the Central Shaheed Minar in the city.
Journalist Shahriar Kabir said the trial of war criminals is possible under theTtibunal Act of 1973 and the government should start it immediately.
“The Tribunal Act of 1973 is an outstanding act. And it is enough co try war cnminuls under this act." he s^id. addir^g.
Seeing the government's
delay to start the process, many identified war criminals are filing cases in normal courts using money to hamper the trial in a special tribunal."

He also said they are going to publish a Bangla rendition of the 1973's tribunal act within a week to facilitate the trial.
