War crimes accused Yusuf denied bail

Staff Correspondent
The International Crimes Tribunal-2 has again denied bail to Jamaat-e-Islami leader AKM Yusuf, who is historically known as the founder of i nfamous Razakar force in 1971.
The three-member tribunal headed by Justice Obaidul Hassan with members Justice Md Mozibur Rahman Miah and Justice Md Shahinur Islam yesterday rejected his bail petition as a report from Kashimpur Jail had said his health was "stable".
The tribunal however directed the jail authorities to ensure the war accused's necessary medical checkup and treatment.
The 87-year-old Jamaat nayeb-e-ameer is facing 13 charges of crimes against humanity and genocide committed during the Liberation War.
Earlier, the tribunal on October 10 asked the jail authorities to submit the health report by October 22 and the authorities complied with the order on Monday.
The court in its yesterday's order said the jail authorities reported that the accused had already undergone necessary treatment and his physical condition was "stable".
A three-member medical board has prepared Yusufs health report.
Apart from his present physical condition, the court has also considered the magnitude of offences Yusuf has been charged with.
Arrested on May 12, Yusuf was denied bail two days later. The tribunal directed the jail authorities on July 24 to report on his health when he had sought bail again.
After the jail authorities then described his health as "stable", the court on August 1 had neither granted nor denied him bail but kept his petition on record.
He again sought bail in the first week of October.
Two prosecution witnesses have already testified against Yousuf.
TRIBUNAL-1
The defence of Jamaat Ameer Motiur Rahman Nizami yesterday declared their third witness' statement would be identical to that of their other witnesses who had already given deposition before the tribunal.

Nizami's son is scheduled to give his deposition today. Nizami, facing 16 war crimes charges, was hauled before the tribunal.
The defence later placed submission on a petition filed for exonerating Jamaat leader Abdus Subhan from war crimes charges.
After hearing, the tribunal observed that the defence were making the submission similar to the arguments placed during hearing of discharge petition on ATM Azharul Islam.
Defence counsel SM Shahjahan argued that senior lawyer Abdur Razzaq had wanted to place the argument. He then soughtan adjournment until Novembers.
