Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdus Subhan’s counsel yesterday claimed that Subhan was eligible for the acquittal of war crimes charges as the evidence made by the prosecution witnesses appeared contradictory, doubtful and unreliable.
“There’s no reasonable ground to rely on the testimonies of the Pws after evaluating the outcome of their cross-examinations,” said Mizanul Islam before the International Crimes Tribunal -2 during defence case summing-up arguments charge-wise.
In no way Maulana Sobhan had complicity in the crimes against humanity during the Liberation War, claimed Mizanul, adding that as the defence has been outwardly able to create doubt about the evidence of the PWs to prove the charges, the benefit of doubt always goes to the accused.
