The International War Crimes Tribunal is set to pronounce its verdict on Wednesday in the case against Muslim League leaders Mahidur Rahman and Afsar Hossain alias Chhutu of Chapainawanganj for their alleged crimes against humanity during the 1971 Liberation War.
The International Crimes Tribunal 2 Chairman Obaidul Hasan fixed the date on Tuesday morning.
On April 22, the tribunal kept the case for verdict, after recording the closing arguments placed by both the prosecution and the defence lawyers.
The accused, who were arrested on September 16 last year in a criminal case, were later shown in the war crimes case. The charges brought against the duo include mass killing, arson, looting, abduction, torture, confinement, and murder committed in the district in 1971.
