2 lawyers to meet Quader Molla at jail
The International Crimes Tribunal yesterday allowed two lawyers to meet Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdul Quader Molla at Kashimpur Central Jail in Gazipur next month.
Any two of the three counsels of Quader Molla will meet him between 9:30am and 12:30pm on February 3, 10 and 17 to discuss the case filed against him on charges of committing crimes against humanity.
The lawyers are M Tajul Islam, Farid Uddin Khan and Sajjad Ali Khan.
The three-member tribunal headed by its Chairman Justice Md Nizamul Huq passed the order after the detainee filed a petition on Sunday seeking permission in this regard.
Quader Molla, assistant secretary general of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, is among the six Jamaat and two BNP leaders who are facing trial in the court for committing crimes against humanity.
The prosecution on December 18 last year filed charges against him with the court. The charges include killing, looting and arson in the city's Mirpur and Mohammadpur areas and in Keraniganj during the Liberation War in 1971.
Ten days later, the tribunal took the charges into cognisance.
The court will hold hearing on charge framing against the accused on Sunday.
