“This is the first step towards justice, but it will be fully achieved once we can execute the verdict by bringing back Ashrafuzzaman from the US and Chowdhury Mueen Uddin from the UK," said Noor, also a prosecution witness.

She expressed her gratitude to the court for bringing into its observation the sufferings of the families of the intellectuals and yet praising the widows of the martyrs who were able to bring up their children as good citizens.
She added that through the verdict the world would know what Mueen Uddin and Ashrafuzzaman had done. “The world now will also know that these two countries [the UK and the US| are giving shelter to war criminals," she said.

He feels that their extradition would have been easy if the International Court of Justice or the United Nations could be involved.
