Khokon Razakar verdict on thrusday!

The International Crimes Tribunal is set to deliver its verdict in the war crimes case against absconding BNP leader Zahid Hossain alias Khokon Razakar on Thursday.

The first tribunal led by Justice M Enayetur Rahim has fixed the date for pronouncing verdict against the BNP leader on Wednesday. 

It has so far pronounced verdicts against Jamaat leaders Ghulam Azam and Delwar Hossain Sayeede, and BNP leader SalauddinQuader Chowdhury. 

Khokon is facing 11 charges for murder, genocide, arson, rape, loot and forcing religious conversion.

Khokon, former mayor of Faridpur’s Nagarkanda municipality and a BNP leader, was indicted in absentia on October 9 last year. 

During the proceedings, the prosecution called 24 witnesses against Khokon, while no witnesses were produced for the fugitive accused. The accused is currently in Sweden. 

Earlier on April 17, after both prosecution and defence finished placing arguments yesterday, the first tribunal passed the order keeping the case CAV, meaning “verdict would be delivered later.”
