The International Crimes Tribunal-1 has cancelled its earlier order allowing former food minister Advocate Kamrul Islam to receive treatment at Evercare Hospital. Kamrul, who had been under treatment at Bangladesh Medical University, had applied for transfer to Evercare for advanced care. The tribunal had approved the request on April 9, 2026, but later reviewed the decision following allegations from the prosecution that false documents were used to obtain the order.

During a hearing on Thursday, the tribunal revoked the permission and directed Kamrul’s lawyers to submit an explanation within 15 days. Until then, Kamrul will continue treatment at Bangladesh Medical University. Chief Prosecutor Aminul stated that the initial order lacked provisions regarding prison security arrangements or cost responsibilities, which raised procedural concerns. The prosecution also questioned the authenticity of documents submitted by Kamrul’s legal team, including records of treatment in Singapore and Keraniganj.

The tribunal’s decision marks a procedural correction and requires Kamrul’s defense to clarify the disputed medical documentation within the specified timeframe.
