There are more differences:
Nuremberg trial did not have the option for 'appeal'; ICT has.
Those war criminals were also arrested and close to 11000 were in jail (excepting those like Golam Azam, who fled to Pakistan). It is Zia (Bangladesh's first Dictator), who released them.
Question is why a case can't be filed after 40 years? Even child molestation cases in USA are filed after 50years?. Come on, give us a break; don't be a supporter of alleged criminals!
Independence of Bangladesh was politically motivated at the will of the people, by the people and for the people. Trial of the war criminals also politically motivated by the people, for the people and obviously of the people (people gave verdict to this government). Again, it was immoral not to do this so long; but when time came we should finish it once for all, like the trial of the killing of Bangabandhu.
Mr. Shah, we know your color, why exposing it!
There is difference between Nuremberg trial and present ICT trial in Dhaka. In Nuremberg, cases were filed immediately after the war and accused tried then. Only some who fled the country and were hiding they were tried after arresting them later. Cases were not filed later .
Secondly in the Nuremberg trial the main accused were not released and so called collaborators were tried as happening in Dhaka.
As such the case is not morally maintainable. The trial is politically motivated.
