Meeting today to pick law for mutineers' trial
An inter-ministerial meeting sits today to decide the law under which the trials of those involved in the February 25-26 BDR mutiny and carnage will be held.
Earlier on July 15, the meeting sat at Bangladesh Secretariat to decide on the matter but failed to come up with any decision. The meeting was adjourned till 4:30pm today.
"We'll decide on the matter in tomorrow's meeting," Chief Public Prosecutor of BDR Anisul Huq told The Daily Star yesterday.
Sources said the meeting might also finalise the new name for BDR, its uniform and other recommendations made by the BDR authorities for restructuring the paramilitary force.
BDR authorities in a letter to the home and law secretaries on June 23 proposed that the government holds the trial of the mutineers at BDR headquarters and elsewhere in the country under the Army act, said sources.
All concerned including representatives from Armed Forces Division will attend today's meeting.
