Where art thou :Living Freedom Fighters, Bir Uttoms, Bir Bikrams, Sector Commanders Forum, Mukti Juddheyer Chetona Bikash, Projonmo 71 ? FM for proper trial of war criminals Foreign Minister (FM) Dipu Moni yesterday said it is more important to hold the trial of war criminals properly than to start the trial quickly so that the perpetrators cannot escape through legal loopholes. She was speaking as chief guest at a discussion titled 'Quick trial of war criminals and relevant issues' organised by Projonmo '71, a platform of children of the martyrs of the liberation war, at the Liberation War Museum in the city. The foreign minister said her government is determined to try the war criminals to put an end to culture of impunity and move the country forward. The government is working to make the trial process acceptable to international community, she added. Dipu Moni said her ministry has already contacted the United Nations (UN) and sought its technical assistance in this regard. Mili Rahman, wife of Birshrestha Motiur Rahman, criticised the government for taking initiative to change the name of a stadium which was named after her husband. "Don't play the 'game of changing the name' with our husbands who died for the country," said Mili Rahman in an emotion-choked voice. She demanded of the government to formulate a law so that no name can be changed from any establishment. Dr Sarwar Ali, journalist Abed Khan and Kaiser Ahmed also spoke on the occasion. http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/news-details.php?nid=95538 http://www.amardeshbd.com/dailynews/detail_news_index.php?NewsID=230647&NewsType=bistarito&SectionID=home |
