Dhaka: The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) 1 is set to deliver its verdicts in the war crimes cases against Syed M Hachen alias Hasan Ali of Kishoreganj, who is being tried in absentia, on Tuesday.

The three-member tribunal, headed by Justice M Enayetur Rahim, on Monday fixed the date for the verdict.

Earlier on 20 April, closing the law-point arguments from both sides in the trial of the 1971 war crimes accused Syed M Hachen alias Hasan Ali, the International Crimes Tribunal 2 kept the verdict pending for any day.

It will be the 18th judgment of the tribunal as it earlier delivered 17 verdicts.

On 11 November last year, the tribunal indicted Syed M Hachen alias Hasan Ali for his involvement in crimes against humanity during the War of Independence.

After fulfilling the requirement of law for the trial of a fugitive accused, the tribunal on 15 September took cognisance of the charges brought against war crimes accused Hasan who remained absconding since filing of the case.

According to the prosecution, the investigator has found Hasan’s involvement in some war crimes such as murder, loot, arson, torture, deportation and genocide at Tarail in Kishoreganj and the proof of his collaboration with the Pakistan occupation forces as a member of its auxiliary outfit Razakar during the War of Independence in 1971.

On 3 April 2014, the ICT 1 issued a warrant of arrest against war crimes suspect Syed M Hachen for his alleged involvement in crimes against humanity in Kishoreganj during the War of Independence.
