The International Crimes Tribunal-1 is scheduled to hold a hearing today on the charge framing against retired Major General Ziaul Ahsan in a case involving crimes against humanity. The three-member tribunal, chaired by Justice Golam Mortuza Majumder with members Justice Shafiul Alam Mahmud and retired judge Mohitul Haque Enam Chowdhury, will hear the prosecution’s submission. Ziaul Ahsan was produced before the tribunal on December 23, after which he was shown arrested and sent to jail pending the hearing.
The prosecution had filed formal charges against Ziaul Ahsan on December 17, accusing him of involvement in enforced disappearances and killings. The tribunal issued a production warrant and accepted the charges for hearing. The case includes three specific allegations: the killing of detainees taken from the RAB headquarters in 2011, executions in Barguna’s coastal areas under a code-named operation, and staged “gunfights” in the Sundarbans under operations such as Nishankhali, Mora Bhola, and Kotka. The prosecution claims at least 100 people were killed in these incidents.
Ziaul Ahsan, a former director general of the National Telecommunication Monitoring Centre, was arrested in Dhaka’s Khilkhet area after August 5 last year and remains in custody.
