"We are giving the highest priority to the trial of crimes against humanity. We are committed to ensuring justice for all crimes committed by the previous government, including killings, enforced disappearances and torture," the Law Adviser told journalists after inspecting the ICT building and its adjoining areas this morning.
He further said, "Once the tin-shed building (now housing ICT-2) adjacent to the main tribunal building becomes vacant, we may establish ICT-3 there. If this can be done, trials of enforced disappearances and other international crimes will be expedited."
Dr Nazrul mentioned that judges, along with the prosecution and investigation teams, are working with great sincerity on cases related to crimes against humanity.
"In the interest of the country and the restoration of democracy, it is essential to establish justice, the rule of law and human rights. The trial of the horrific crimes against humanity-such as the killing of more than a thousand students and people during the July uprising and maiming of thousands more-is indispensable and inevitable. From the beginning, we have remained steadfast in this pursuit of justice and we are satisfied with the current pace of proceedings," he added.
Housing and Public Works Adviser Adilur Rahman Khan, Attorney General Md Asaduzzaman, ICT Chief Prosecutor Muhammad Tajul Islam and other prosecutors were also present during the visit.
