The accused are Ashraf Hossain, 64, Prof Sharif Ahammed, 71, Abdul Mannan, 66, Abdul Bari, 62, Harun, 58, and Abul Hashem, 65.
The tribunal ordered its registrar's office to publish advertisements in two national dailies - one Bangla and one English — asking the accused to appear before the court within seven days from the publishing date.

The charges, which include murder, abduction and torture, were brought for their alleged involvement in nine incidents committed in Jamalpur between April 22 and December 11, 1971.

Abdur Razzak yesterday told the tribunal that he is very poor and not capable of appointing a lawyer.
The tribunal then appointed M Masud Rana, who is also defending Muhibur Rahman Boromian and Mujibur Rahman Angur Mian, two other accused in the case.
The prosecution on May 17 first pressed charges against Muhibur, former chairman of Baniachang upazila's Khagaura Union Parishad, and his younger brother Angur Mian, the incumbent chairman. The court fixed August 9 for next order.
