Charges Against Quader Molla
Hearing today
The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) is scheduled today for hearings on charge framing against Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdul Quader Molla in connection with committing war crimes in 1971.
The tribunal fixed the date of the hearing on February 19.
Quader is charged with seven specific crimes against humanity during the War of Liberation in 1971.
His counsel Tajul Islam yesterday told The Daily Star that they (counsels) would move a petition before the tribunal today for deferring the hearing as they could not make preparation for placing arguments to defend their client.
The prosecution on December 18 last year submitted formal charges against Quader before the tribunal, which took the charges into cognisance later on December 28.
The tribunal is also scheduled today for holding deposition of prosecution witness against another Jamaat leader Delawar Hossain Sayedee in connection with war crimes.
