Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader and Supreme Court lawyer Fazlur Rahman has been exempted from contempt of court charges after offering an unconditional apology to the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT). The tribunal’s three-member bench, led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Majumder, issued the order on Monday, December 8. The case stemmed from remarks Rahman made during a television talk show, where he questioned the tribunal’s legitimacy and impartiality. The contempt allegation was filed on November 26 by prosecutor Gazi Monowar Hossain Tamim, who argued that Rahman’s comments undermined the tribunal’s authority. Following the complaint, the ICT summoned Rahman to appear in person on December 8 to explain his statements. Before the hearing, Rahman submitted a written apology, expressing regret for his remarks. Senior lawyers, including Zainul Abedin and Barrister Kaiser Kamal, accompanied him during the proceedings. The tribunal accepted Rahman’s apology, effectively closing the contempt case. Legal observers noted that the decision underscores the judiciary’s emphasis on accountability while allowing room for reconciliation through contrition.
