The International Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh has sentenced six people to death for committing crimes against humanity in Khulna during the Liberation War in 1971.

The three-member tribunal, headed by Justice Md Shahinur Islam, delivered the verdict on Tuesday, reports Bangla Tribune.

The accused in the case are Amjad Hossain Howladar, Sahar Ali Sardar, Atiyar Rahman, Motachim Billah, Kamal Uddin Goldar, and Nazrul Islam. Of them, Nazrul Islam is absconding.

The investigation of the case started on November 15, 2015.

On August 8, 2017, a seven-volume 1,027-page report was submitted to the tribunal against the accused.

The report says on August 10, 1971, at least five Razakars including Amjad Hossain Howladar tortured, kidnapped, and murdered Shanti Lata Mandal of a village in Batiaghata upazila.

On August 15, the accused captured, tortured, and fatally shot unarmed Haridas Majumdar after attacking a house in Purbahalia village of the same upazila.

On October 21, they set fire to at least six houses in Sukhdara village in an attempt to wipe out the Hindu community.

Four unarmed Hindu men were killed and their houses were looted.

On November 29, the accused attacked Baroaria village of the upazila and killed freedom fighters Jyotish Mandal and Abdul Aziz.

Amjad Hossain Howladar is accused of all four offenses mentioned in the investigation report.

He was a supporter of the Convention Muslim League during the Liberation War.

 
Quick execution of the verdict is needed, the faster we can get rid of these scum, the faster we can get on with other things..

With every execution a bloody chapter of the rich bengali history moves closer to its conclusion.

Why were the Hindus targeted in 1971? I never knew the real reason.
 
prosecute the Pakistani, American and British officials also , who backed the genocide.
These guys were the small fry. Their main sponsors were from these 3 countries.
Prosecution even in absentia, sends a strong message to the perpetrators that they will be shamed and exposed in front of the world.

The reason that usa is targeting BD at the moment is to dissuade them from such a move.

So it seems Bangalis were killing other Bangalis and Pakistan army got the blame.
 
Ofcourse. That’s why bd government put them on trial. They and Biharis did most of the dirty works of Pakistani army in 1971 and paying the price of it.
They did what they thought was right for their country .
 
Why were the Hindus targeted in 1971? I never knew the real reason.
East Pakistan had a higher population than West Pakistan. West Pakistan had a higher Muslim population than East Pak. The difference was Hindus. Also the Bengalis used what was perceived to be the "Hindu" Devanagari script. Wore sarees. So the Hindus were allegedly responsible EP. Even in Operation Searchlight Hindus were targeted.

prosecute the Pakistani, American and British officials also , who backed the genocide.
These guys were the small fry. Their main sponsors were from these 3 countries.

Americans provided covert support to Pak. Didn't know Brits did too.
