Dhaka, Jan 11 (bdnews24.com) -- Jamaat guru and former chief Ghulam Azam appeared before the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on Wednesday morning in line with a previous order.
The court on Monday took charges of crimes against humanity against Azam into cognisance and asked his lawyer to produce him before the tribunal on Wednesday. In case of failure, the tribunal had said an arrest warrant would be issued.
He had filed a bail petition on Tuesday, citing old age and health complications.
Azam entered the tribunal with some lawyers after 10am. He was taken inside on a wheel chair.
Meanwhile, various groups gathered on the tribunal premises with placards and festoons demanding trial of Azam on Wednesday.
Extra police have been deployed to ensure security.
Common people are not being allowed to use Gate-1 and Mazar gate of the High Court since morning.
