Prosecution witness in the trial of Obaidul Huq Taher and Ataur Rahman Noni, two alleged Razakar leaders from Netrakona District, on April 21 testified at the International Crimes Tribunal-1 (ICT-1), accusing the duo for carrying out atrocious acts in 1971. Joynuddin (65), a boatman from village Gumria in Netrokona District, said “They nabbed my uncle Rishi Miah, who used to ferry refugees to India alongside me and my father on our boat. I quickly hide myself and follow the group as they led my uncle and Chanfar to nearby village Laufa. There they looted houses and set fire to those. They also abused women. They went to Pub Para and picked up Ruj Ali Talukdar, Jafar Ali Talukdar, Mosruf Ali Talukdar, Alam Khan, Sadek Ali and one Alauddin. They started to lead the abductees to Barohatta. On the way, Ruj and Jafar tried to flee but failed as Noni and Taher opened fire on them, killing them on the spot. They took the rest to Thakurkona Razakar camp and put them on immense torture. Razakars released Alam and Sadek on one condition of passing information on whereabouts of Freedom Fighters. Noni and Taher later shot at Alauddin, Mosruf and Chanfar, killing the first two on the spot. Chanfar managed to flee with gun wounds on his waist.”

International Crimes Tribunal-1 (ICT-1) on May 4 initiated contempt of court proceedings against two top leaders of Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS), the student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), for their joint media statement about a War Crimes verdict, reports The Daily Star. The Tribunal also asked Abdul Jabbar and Atiqur Rahman, President and Secretary General of ICS, to explain in three weeks as to why they should not be punished for making a derogatory statement that constitutes contempt of the Tribunal. On January 1, the prosecution brought contempt charges against five JeI-ICS leaders and the lawyer for separate statements following death sentence awarded to JeI Assistant Secretary General ATM Azharul Islam on December 30, 2014. Tajul Islam, who defended JeI leaders facing War Crimes charges, was exonerated and given an opportunity to rectify himself as he apologized unconditionally for his comment. JeI Acting Ameer (Chief) Maqbul Ahmad, Acting Secretary General Shafiqur Rahman and Nayeb-e-Ameer (Deputy Chief) Mujibur Rahman were exempted from the charges as their statements did not attack the Tribunal directly. But the Tribunal began the contempt proceedings against the ICS leaders as their joint statement, which was published in Daily Sangram on December 31, 2014, prima facie appears to be extremely derogatory to the independence and image of the Tribunal.

The government on September 15 made one of two International Crimes Tribunals (ICT) dormant, and brought some changes in the positions of the tribunal judges, reports Daily Star. Now, a single tribunal will hear the cases relating to the crimes against humanity and war crimes committed during the country's Liberation War in 1971. The Law Ministry issued a gazette notification in this regard. Citing from the notification, Law Minister Anisul Huq said that Justice Anwarul Haque, who was a member of the ICT-1 was appointed Chairman of the present Tribunal and Justice Mohammad Shahinur Islam and Justice Mohammad Shohrowardi were made its members. Justice Shahinur Islam was working as member of the ICT-2 and Justice Md Shohrowardi was working for the High Court. ICT-1 Chairman Justice M Enayetur Rahim, ICT-2 Chairman Justice Obaidul Hassan and their members Justice Jahangir Hossain and Justice Mohammad Mozibur Rahman Miah have been brought back to the High Court, the minister said. The Law Minister said the initiative was taken as there were only four cases pending with the tribunal. One tribunal is adequate for disposal of the four cases, he said, adding that another tribunal would be made active, if necessary. The Awami League-led government formed the first tribunal on March 25, 2010, and the second one on March 22, 2012.
