Verdict on 6 Khulna war crimes accused any day

International Crimes Tribunal-1 will deliver its verdict -- any day -- in a case filed against six people of Khulna for allegedly committing crimes during the Liberation War in 1971.

The three-member tribunal led by Justice Md Shahinur Islam kept the case waiting for verdict after both the prosecution and defence counsels completed their closing arguments today, Prosecutor Sabina Yesmin Khan Munni told The Daily Star.

The accused are: Amjad Hossain Howlader, Shahar Ali Sardar, Atiar Rahman Sheikh, Motasin Billah, Kamal Uddin Goldar and Nazrul Islam of Batiaghata upazila of Khulna.

Among them, Nazrul Islam is on the run while the rest are in the jail. All of them face four charges, Munni said.
