Prosecutors may place formal charges before the International Crimes Tribunal today against detained Jamaat-e-Islami Nayeb-e-Ameer Delwar Hossain Sayedee in connection with crimes against humanity committed during the Liberation War, 1971.
"The formal charges against Sayedee will be pressed tomorrow," Syed Rezaur Rahman, a senior member of the prosecution team, told The Daily Star yesterday.
M Shahinur Islam, the tribunal's registrar confirmed that it will sit at 2:00pm today to hear the formal charges against the detained Jamaat leader.
On May 31 this year, the tribunal directed the prosecutors to press charges against Sayedee through filing a petition by today based on the investigation report and also fixed the same day for the hearing.
Earlier on the same day, investigators handed over the final report to the prosecution team on the allegations against Sayedee.
Also, the prosecutors informed the tribunal about the report during the hearing of Sayedee's bail petition that day.
Md Helaluddin, a member of the tribunal's investigation agency, had submitted over 4,000 pages of probe report and other related documents including compact discs and books as evidence to the Chief Prosecutor Ghulam Arieff Tipoo at Old High Court building.
