War Crime Suspect

Evidence found against fugitive

Staff Correspondent
War crimes investigators yesterday said they had found evidence of six wartime offences including the killing of 24 people committed by fugitive war crimes suspect Syed Md Hassan in Tarail upazila in Kishoreganj.
Hassan, 65, alleged commander of Tarail unit Razakar in Kishoreganj in 1971, set a camp of the auxiliary force of the Pakistani occupation army at Tarail Police Station on April 23,1971.
The offences also include kidnapping of 12 people and torching and looting of 125 houses.
Senior investigators Abdul Hannan Khan and Sanaul Huq gave this information at a briefing at the agency's Dhanmondi office in the capital yesterday.
Huq said the war crimes suspect had looted and set fire to seven houses of one Hassan Ahmed at Sachail village on April 27.
"He [Hassan] was involved in the killing of Tofazzal Hossain Bhuiyan, abduction of two others and setting fire to two houses at Konabhawal village on August 23,1971," the senior investigator said, adding that they had found his "involvement" in killing 12 people and torching of 10 houses at Palpara in Shimulhati village on September 9.
Eight people including Satish Ghosh was killed and 10 others at Borgaon village of Tarail were abducted on September 27. Hassan, whose father was the president of Kishoreganj Peace Committee, was allegedly involved in the incident.
Kamini Kumar Ghosh and Jibon Chakravorty of Araiura village were abducted and killed on October 8. Ghosh's six houses were also plundered. Hassan allegedly led the abduction and killings.
Huq said the investigators had found Hassan's "involvement" in killing Rashid Ali Bepari of Sachail village and setting fire to 100 houses on December 11.
Around 39 witnesses were likely to testify on the charges, he added.
The agency began its investigation on June 7 last year, completed it on June 19 this year and has submitted a 219-page probe report to the prosecution office of the international crimes tribunals.
On April 3, the International Crimes Tribunal-1 ordered the arrest of Hassan, who has gone into hiding.
In reply to a question, senior investigator Abdul Hannan Khan said they probed war crimes against Jamaat-e-lslami as a party for its role during the Liberation War 1971 as per the provision in the existing International Crimes (Tribunals) Act, 1973.
"The agency has nothing to do with different types of explanations that came up after it submitted the probe report," he said.
The agency submitted the probe report against Jamaat's wartime role on March 27.
On May 29, Law Minister Anisul Huq said the war crimes act was not enough to try and punish any political party for its alleged crimes during the Liberation War.
The International Crimes Investigation Agency has so far completed investigation of 20 cases and is looking into 15 others.
