Chief Prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal, Tazul Islam, stated that the defense team for Sajeeb Wazed Joy and Zunaid Ahmed Palak is attempting to delay the trial proceedings. He remarked that the defense hopes the upcoming election will halt the trial. The comment came during a hearing before a three-member panel led by Justice Md. Golam Mortuza Majumdar, where the defense requested more time for the discharge hearing.
The prosecution presented formal charges against Joy, son of the deposed Prime Minister Hasina, and former state minister Palak, related to alleged atrocities during the July uprising when internet services were shut down. Prosecutors submitted three charges and sought to begin the trial. Defense lawyer Liton Ahmed argued that they faced restrictions during a prison visit and that some seized video evidence could not be opened. The tribunal allowed four additional days for the defense to review the charges.
The tribunal scheduled the next hearing for Thursday, continuing the process toward formal trial commencement.
