The International Crimes Tribunal-1 has begun hearings on the formation of formal charges against retired Major General Ziaul Ahsan, accused of crimes against humanity involving the abduction and killing of over a hundred people. The hearing took place on Thursday before a three-member tribunal headed by Chairman Golam Mortuza Mojumdar, with Justice Shafiul Alam Mahmud and retired judge Mohitul Haque Enam Chowdhury as members. Defense lawyer Naznin Nahar argued for the accused’s discharge, while Chief Prosecutor Tazul Islam earlier presented specific charges on December 4.
According to the prosecution, Ahsan and his team allegedly executed detainees in multiple operations between 2011 and subsequent years, including incidents in Gazipur, Barguna’s Patharghata area, and the Sundarbans. The charges describe killings conducted under code names such as “Gestapo” and “Golf,” and operations titled “Nishankhali,” “Mora Bhola,” and “Kotka,” which allegedly resulted in at least 100 deaths. Ahsan was produced before the tribunal on December 23 and later sent to jail pending trial.
The tribunal has set the current date for the defense to present its arguments following the prosecution’s request to begin formal trial proceedings.
