EU not siding with war criminals: New envoy

In an apparent move to remove the confusion about its role over war crimes trial in Bangladesh, the European Union (EU) on Wednesday said they are not siding with war criminals by issuing statements but reminded all about its worldwide position against death penalty. “Please don’t spread this perception that the EU is taking side of war criminals. That’s not obviously the case. It’s not true we take sides,” newly appointed Ambassador and Head of the EU Delegation to Bangladesh Pierre Mayaudon told a press conference in the city, according to a news agency.
