SC writes to ministry to relocate ICT

The Supreme Court has sent a letter to the law ministry asking it to relocate the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) from its old High Court building and to hand over its possession by October 31.

 The letter sent recently stated that different parts of the building were temporarily allocated to the ICT.

As the SC now lacks adequate accommodation capacity for its judges and other staff, it needs the spaces allocated to the ICT in the old High Court building to resolve the crisis, it added. Contacted, Law Minister Anisul Huq told The Daily Star that he was talking to the people concerned to take steps in this regard. The tribunal's prosecutor Tureen Afroz said the relocation might delay the ongoing trial proceedings.
