War crimes accused Awami League leader, Mobarak Hossain sent to jail


BANGLADESH NEWS
The International Crimes Tribunal on Tuesday sent a former local Awami League leader, Mobarak Hossain, to jail after accepting charges against him of crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.
Mobarak, who was the organising secretary of a union unit of Awami League in Akhaura of Brahmanbaria for 16 years, faces five charges for genocide, murder, torture, killing and abduction.
The International Crimes Tribunal-1 came up with the order after prosecution prayed for cancellation of the bail that he secured since July 16 last year.
The tribunal set April 4 for framing charges in this connection.



Mohibur Rahman, a counsel for Mobarak, however prayed for extension of Mobarak’s bail.
The three-member panel also asked the defence to produce witnesses and submit related documents, if there is any, before it on April 4.
Khodeja Begum, whose father was allegedly killed by Mobarak Hossain alias Mobarak Ali, had filed a case against him with Brahmanbaria court in 2009, which was later transferred to Tribunal-1.
The prosecution on February 25 submitted war crimes charges against Mobarak
