The International Crimes Tribunal-1 yesterday set January 20 for delivering its judgment in a crimes against humanity case filed over the killing of six people at Chankharpul during the July uprising.

Ataur Rahman Bikrampuri, known for his highly provocative sermons, online speeches, and Facebook posts, was sent to Kashimpur Central Jail yesterday.

The International Crimes Tribunal-2 yesterday pressed charges against 11 former police officers over the killing of Imam Hasan Bhuiyan Tayim, a 12th grader, in Dhaka’s Jatrabari on July 20 last year.

The law enforcement’s inaction during the attacks on The Daily Star, Prothom Alo, Chhayanaut and Udichi proves that the government acted as the attackers’ associate, Prof Anu Muhammad said at a rally at the National Museum yesterday.

Journalist leaders yesterday termed the recent attacks on the offices of The Daily Star and Prothom Alo direct assaults on free and independent journalism, demanding swift justice and exemplary punishment for those responsible.

Justice Zubayer Rahman Chowdhury, a senior judge of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, has been appointed as the 26th chief justice of Bangladesh.
