ICT prosecutors aim to complete July Uprising trials within a year

Chief prosecutor says three to four more verdicts could come within next month

The International Crimes Tribunal prosecution aims to complete proceedings in cases linked to the July Uprising within a year.

Chief Prosecutor Aminul Islam on Thursday said the tribunal wants to conclude all July cases through investigation reports and judgments within the period.

He said July-August related cases remain the prosecution’s top priority, with 590 initial complaints consolidated into 109 cases covering incidents nationwide.

Aminul said a list of around 4,000 alleged extrajudicial killing cases was also being reviewed.

He said verdicts in three to four more cases are expected next month, while investigations into several high-profile cases are nearing completion.

The prosecution is also preparing site visits to detention facilities linked to allegations of abuses.
