Final decision likely in a couple of days
Tuesday, 4 May 2010
The government is going to take a final decision about the controversial investigation officer (IO) Abdul Matin, who deals with crimes against humanity, within a couple of days, reports UNB.
A source told the news agency Monday that an official investigation was on about his role in 1971 and the decision would be taken immediately after the inquiry.
Matin was appointed as one of the IOs for putting in the dock the perpetrators who had committed crimes against humanity during the country's liberation war in 1971.
The source said the government representative talked to Matin about his role in 1971 after Prime Minister's Advisor Alauddin Ahmed had publicly stated that he was a member of Islami Chhatra Sangha, the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan.
Matin, however, denied his links with the Islami Chhatra Sangha.
"We are receiving conflicting information about him (Matin). We are waiting for the official inquiry report for taking the final decision," the source said.
