The prosecution has filed an appeal in the Supreme Court’s Appellate Division chamber court seeking the highest punishment for five convicts who received lesser sentences in the Chankharpul killings case linked to the July uprising. The International Crimes Tribunal had earlier sentenced former DMP Commissioner Habibur Rahman and two others to death, while five others, including Constable Sujon Hossain, received prison terms ranging from three to six years. The court has scheduled a hearing on the appeal for next Sunday.
Prosecutor Gazi M H Tamim confirmed the appeal on Thursday, stating that the prosecution challenged the tribunal’s observations that led to reduced sentences. He said the petition requests that the convicts with lighter sentences remain in custody until the appeal is resolved. The case is recognized as the tribunal’s second verdict concerning crimes against humanity committed in Chankharpul.
The tribunal had earlier sentenced former Assistant Commissioner Md Imrul (absconding) to six years, Inspector Arshad Hossain to four years, and Constable Sujon Hossain, Imam Hossain Iman, and Md Nasirul Islam to three years each.
