Chief Prosecutor Muhammad Tajul Islam has said there will be no room for the international community to question the trials for the ‘genocide committed’ during the mass uprising.

Speaking at a press briefing at the International Crimes Tribunal on Tuesday afternoon, he said the trial for the brutal and sensational killings in Dhaka would be prioritised.

The trial of the murder of Abu Sayed during the quota reform protest in Rangpur is also given priority, he said.

“The trial will be conducted in a manner that leaves no scope for questions, either within the country or abroad,” he added.

The chief prosecutor urged the government to expedite the reconstitution of the tribunal, saying: “Those who have sacrificed their lives, lost their eyesight, or limbs — the nation has a responsibility to ensure justice for them. It is crucial for the investigative and prosecutorial agencies to receive the necessary information promptly. We must obtain the most sensitive data first and focus on investigating those cases as a priority.”
