A tribunal has fixed April 20 for passing an order on whether contempt of court proceedings will be initiated against Jamaat lawyer Tajul Islam and five Shibir leaders for their statements to the media following a verdict.
Justice M Enayetur Rahim, chairman of International Crimes Tribunal 1, passed the order yesterday after hearing arguments from the prosecution and the lawyer of five accused Jamaat-Shibir leaders.
A defence counsel told the court that his clients have apologised unconditionally to the tribunal.
