“Prosecution and defence, we will deliver the verdict in Jamaat leader Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed case tomorrow,” Justice Obaidul Hassan, chairman of International Crimes Tribunal-2, announced, the Daily Star, a local newspaper, reported.
The announcement came before the court began the day’s proceeding in the war crimes case of Chowdhury Mueen Uddin and Ashrafuzzaman Khan.
Allegedly the chief of infamous Al-Badr force, the top Jamaat leader is facing seven charges which include murder, genocide and conspiracy to kill the intellectuals during the country’s Liberation War in 1971.
