Retired judge Nizamul Huq Nasim, previously criticized for his role in the 2012 Skype scandal involving alleged government interference in war crimes trials, has been elected to the executive committee of Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK). Nasim had also served as Press Council Chairman under the Awami League, facing backlash for actions against journalists. Human rights groups had strongly condemned his conduct during the tribunal. ASK announced the new committee in a press release following its May 9 general meeting.
