International Crimes Tribunal Chief Prosecutor Md. Aminul Islam stated that no one, regardless of rank, will be exempted in the Shapla Chattar killings case. He said the investigation into the 2013 incident during Hefazat-e-Islam’s mass gathering is in its final stage. On Tuesday, the tribunal ordered the imprisonment of former Deputy Inspector General of Police Abdul Jalil Mondol in connection with the case. Following the order, the Chief Prosecutor told reporters that the investigation report would be submitted soon.

Aminul Islam added that all past incidents of crossfire are being reviewed to bring them under trial. He also mentioned that information on all cases filed after August 5, 2024, has been collected, and the prosecution will examine whether irregularities occurred. Those linked to crimes against humanity during the “One-Eleven” period will also face trial.

The statements underscore the tribunal’s intent to ensure accountability across all levels of involvement in serious crimes and irregularities.
