The International Crimes Tribunal-1 (ICT-1) on November 1, framed seven specific charges against two persons, including a former leader of Habiganj Awami League (AL), over crimes against humanity and genocide committed during the 1971 Liberation War, reports The Daily Star. The tribunal fixed December 4 to start the trial with the prosecution's opening statement and witnesses' testimonies. The accused -- Liakat Ali (61), former president of Lakhai upazila (sub-District) unit AL in Habiganj, and Aminul Islam alias Rajab Ali (62), of Astogram upazila in Kishoreganj -- are now on the run. The prosecution on May 3 pressed the charges against them and the tribunal decided to hold their trial in absentia as they did not appear before it even after the publication of advertisements in two national dailies asking them to do so. According to the prosecution, Liakat, a college student in 1971, was involved in Muslim League along with his maternal uncle. During the Liberation War, his uncle became chairman of Fandauk Union Peace Committee in Brahmanbaria's Nasirnagar upazila while he led the union's Razakar Bahini. Liakat, now believed to be in the United States, committed the crimes with assistance from the Pakistani occupation army, went into hiding after the Liberation War and later got involved in the AL, according to the tribunal's investigation agency. Meanwhile, Aminul of Astogram was president of Hazi Hasmat Ali College unit of Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI)'s then student wing Islami Chhatra Sangha (ICS) in 1970 and formed Al-Badr Bahini with ICS men during the Liberation War. Aminul committed atrocities in association with the Pakistani army and his force. He was caught by freedom fighters at the Liberation War's end, according to the prosecution. Three cases were filed against him under the Collaborators Act-1972. Aminul, who had been given a life sentence, got released in 1981 after the political changeover, according to the agency. The charges are acts of genocide killing 43 Hindu men in Lakhai's Krishnapur, nine Hindu men in Chandipur and 26 Hindu men in Gadainagar; act of genocide in Krishnapur, Chandipur and Gadainagar leaving eight Hindu men dead; killing of one Rangu Mia in Nasirnagar; killing of five men in Sabiyanagar in Astogram; and killing of 10 other men in the same village.
