Chief Prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal Mohammad Tazul Islam has declared that justice will be served in the enforced disappearance and murder cases involving retired Major General Ziaul Ahsan. Speaking on Sunday after a hearing on the formal charge formation, he said that despite any conspiracies or delays, the prosecution and the state remain determined to ensure justice.

During the hearing at Tribunal-1, Tazul Islam presented three specific charges against Ahsan, accusing him of orchestrating abductions and killings of over a hundred people. The allegations include the 2011 killing of three detainees taken from the RAB headquarters, mass executions in Barguna’s Patharghata area under code names “Gestapo” and “Golf,” and staged “gunfights” in Sundarbans operations that allegedly killed at least 50 people.

Following the prosecution’s submission, the defense requested additional time to respond. The tribunal granted the request and set January 8 as the next hearing date.
