Mobarak's indictment decision April 23

The International Crimes Tribunal-1 will decide on April 23 whether it will frame war crimes charges against Mobarak Hossain, a former Awami League leader of Brahmanbaria.
On that day, the three-member tribunal also give an order on the bail petition of Mobarak, now detained in Dhaka Central Jail. He was sued in 2009 for killing a pro-liberation Ansar personnel, Abdul Khaleque, in 1971.
Mobarak, a Razakar commander during the Liberation War, had been the organising secretary of a union unit AL in Akhaura for 16 years till 2012.
The prosecution brought five charges of crimes, including genocide, murder, torture, killing and abduction, against him after completing its investigation.
Mobarak's counsel Ahsanul Huq Hena claimed his client to be innocent and hoped that the tribunal would free him of the charges. Prosecutor Syed Haidar Ali, however, said they had enough witnesses and documents to prove the charges.
On Wednesday, the prosecution prayed to the tribunal for indicting Mobarak.
