Hasan Ali to die for war crimes

The International Crimes Tribunal-1 (ICT-1) condemned on Tuesday fugitive Syed M Hachen alias Hasan Ali of Kishoreganj to death for his crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971, reports UNB.

The three-member tribunal, headed by Justice M Enayetur Rahim, pronounced the verdict.

Earlier, the tribunal fixed Monday for announcement of the verdict.

Earlier on April 20, closing the law-point arguments from both sides in the trial of the 1971 war crimes accused Hasan Ali, the International Crimes Tribunal-2 kept the verdict pending for any day.

It will be the 18th judgment of the tribunal as it earlier had delivered 17 verdicts.

On November 11 last year, the tribunal indicted Syed M Hachen alias Hasan Ali for his involvement in crimes against humanity during the Liberation War.

After fulfilling the requirement of law for the trial of a fugitive accused, the tribunal on September 15 took cognisance of the charges brought against him.
