Dhaka: International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) probe agency has finalised seven specific charges of crimes against humanity against seven alleged war criminals from Purbadhala upazila in Netrakona, reports local news agency.

Mohammad Abdul Hannan Khan, coordinator and chief investigator of the agency, at a press briefing at its Safe House at Dhanmondi at about 11:15 am, said the accused are Sheikh Mohammad Abdul Majid, Mohammad Abdul Khalek Talukder, Mohammad Falir Khan, Mohammad Abdur Rahman, Abdul Salam Sheikh, Mohammad Nuruddin and Ahmmed Ali.

Of them, Ahmmed Ali died while in police custody on 12 August, 2015.

The 309-page probe report will be submitted to the tribunal’s prosecutor on Wednesday, Hannan Khan said.
