The war crimes tribunal is set to pronounce its verdict on Wednesday in the case against Maulana Abdus Subhan, the incumbent nayeb-e-ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami, for crimes against humanity during the 1971 Liberation War.
The International Crimes Tribunal 2 Chairman Obaidul Hasan fixed the date on Tuesday morning.
Subhan was a Peace Committee leader in Pabna. He is facing nine charges of crimes against humanity committed in the district during the 1971 Liberation War.
Earlier, the International Crimes Tribunal indicted Maulana Abdus Subhan for committing crimes against humanity during the 1971 Liberation War on December 31, 2013.
In 1972, Subhan had been accused, by a special tribunal, of collaborating with the Pakistan Army during the war and was summoned. However, he did not face the trail as he had already fled to Pakistan with former Jamaat chief Ghulam Azam. However, he resumed his political career after the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
