War Crimes: Verdict any day against Mymensingh accused
Dhaka: International Crimes Tribunal on Wednesday concluded the arguments of a war crime case and kept the verdict to deliver any day against a Mymensingh suspect for his alleged crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.
The accused is identified as Riaz Uddin Fakir, who was arrested on August 11 in 2015.
A three-member Tribunal led by Md Shahinur Islam wrapped up the case and kept it on CAV (Curia Advisari Vult, a Latin legal term meaning the court awaits judgement).
Two other accused of the case - Hazi Amzad Ali, earlier died in police custody and Waz Uddin Fakir died while he was absconding.
Prosecutor Rhishikesh Saha said Riaz Uddin who was then chief of Al-Badr Bahini faces charges of murder, mass killing, arson attack and looting in Phulbari upazila in the district during the War of Independence in 1971.
A total of 19 witnesses testified against the suspect and all four allegations against Riaz Uddin were proved, he said.
