ICT order against Tajul, others on April 20

The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT)-1 set on Wednesday April 20 to pass an order whether to initiate contempt of court proceedings against advocate Tajul Islam and five leaders of Jamaat and its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir, reports BSS.
The tribunal on January 12 issued a contempt notice upon Jamaat acting ameer Maqbul Ahmed, its nayeb-e-ameer Mujibur Rahman, Jamaat acting secretary general Dr Shafiqur Rahman, advocate Tajul Islam, Shibir president Abdul Jabbar, and its general secretary Md Atikur Rahman.
The first tribunal issued the notice, allowing a petition submitted by the prosecution on January 1, which said that after the pronouncement of verdict in the trial of Jamaat leader ATM Azharul Islam, defence counsel Tajul Islam held a press briefing and made adverse comments against the verdict. Jamaat too called a two-day shutdown in protest against the death sentence awarded to its leader.
