The International Crimes Tribunal is set to deliver its verdict on alleged Razakar commander Syed Md Hasan Ali of Kishoreganj.
Justice M Enaytur Rahim, chairman of the three member panel of ICT 1, set the date on Monday.
Hasan Ali – who remains on the run – faces six charges including killing, abduction and arson during the Liberation War in 1971.
The 65-year-old accused, who is now politically inactive, was once involved with the anti-liberation organisation Nezam-e-Islami.
After concluding hearing of both prosecution and defence as well as the closing arguments, the court on April 20 had kept the case CAV, meaning the verdict could be delivered any day.
According to the prosecution, Hasan Ali had set up a camp of the anti-liberation force at Tarail’s local police station on April 23, 1971, from where he committed war crimes. Although the accused hailed from Brahmanbaria, he had been living in Tarail with his family for many years; he was there during the war.
On November 11 last year, the tribunal charged Hasan Ali with torching and looting seven houses of one Hasan Ahmed of Sachail village; complicity in killing one Tofazzal, abduction of two other people and burning of two houses in Konabhawal village; and involvement in killing 12 persons and torching 10 houses in Shimulhati village.
He was also charged with killing eight people and abducting 10 others in Borgaon village; abduction and murder of two and looting one of their houses in Araiura village; and having links to the killing of Rashid Ali Bepari and torching 100 houses in Sachail village.
