Send Ghulam Azam to jail

National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Chairman Prof Mizanur Rahman yesterday said the authorities concerned should put war crimes suspect Ghulam Azam behind bars rather than feeding him fruits in the hospital.
He dismissed the allegation made by the family members of the former Jamaat ameer of depriving him of proper medical care.
Ghulam Azam's family members have a great opportunity as they can raise questions about the trial process, although no one gets the same scope abroad, he mentioned.
The NHRC chief was talking to reporters after joining a human chain programme at the base of Aparajeyo Bangla at Dhaka University.
Dhaka University Teachers' Association (Duta) organised the programme demanding prompt trial of war criminals by setting up more tribunals.
Duta President Prof Anwar Hossain urged the law enforcers to arrest the people who have been “hatching plots” to foil the trial.
"Many teachers, students and staff of the university were brutally killed by the Pakistani army with the collaboration of war criminals. So trying them is a vital issue for the Dhaka University family," he mentioned.
"Some army officials don't want the trial of war criminals. The government should identify and bring them to book," suggested Prof Anwar.
Vice-Chancellor Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique, Prof Farid Uddin Ahmed, Prof Amzad Ali and Prof Gitiara Nasreen spoke at the programme.
The International Crimes Tribunal on January 11 sent Ghulam Azam to jail on charges of committing crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.
The same day he was shifted from Dhaka Central Jail to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Hospital for treatment.
