Law adviser praises army’s assistance in judicial process

Bangla Press Desk:  Law Affairs Adviser Asif Nazrul has lauded the way army officers were brought before the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on Wednesday, describing it as a remarkable show of respect for the judicial process.

“The manner in which the army members appeared before the tribunal and the cooperation extended by senior military officials, including the army chief, deserve high praise. Their respect for the rule of law is very encouraging,” he told reporters at the Secretariat, a few hours after the accused personnel arrived at the tribunal.

On the decision to keep the officers in a sub-jail, he said the matter is entirely under the jurisdiction of the Home Ministry, which will take steps it deems appropriate.
