Advocate Tajul Islam has been removed from his position as Chief Prosecutor of the reconstituted International Crimes Tribunal, and Advocate Aminul Islam has been appointed as his replacement, according to a government notification issued on Monday. The change comes amid ongoing trials related to the July genocide and crimes against humanity, prompting discussions about the continuity and pace of the tribunal’s proceedings.
During his one and a half years in office, Tajul Islam led significant progress in the prosecution of July genocide cases, resulting in multiple convictions, including death sentences for former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal. Under his leadership, 24 formal charges were filed, 21 trials are ongoing, and three verdicts have been delivered. Tajul expressed confidence that the new prosecutor would continue the pursuit of justice and emphasized the need to prevent future atrocities.
New Chief Prosecutor Aminul Islam, previously a lawyer for Khaleda Zia, pledged to uphold the aspirations of the July movement and ensure fair trials. He stated that under the elected government, the tribunal’s work would proceed with greater momentum.
