Abdus Subhan Jamaat leader charged with war crimes in Bangladesh Tuesday Dec 31,2013




Abdus Subhan,a top fundamentalist Jamaat-e-Islami leader was on Tuesday charged by a special Bangladeshi court with war crimes during the country’s 1971 liberation war against Pakistan.

Abdus Subhan, in his 70s, has been accused of “murder, genocide, loot, abduction, confinement, arson and torture.”

According to charges,Abdus Subhan committed the atrocities at different parts of his northwestern home district in Pabna from April 17 to October 30, 1971.
“The charges are framed,” International Crimes Tribunal chairman Justice ATM Fazle Kabir said, indicting Abdus Subhan of nine counts as he appeared on the dock and set January 28 as the date of hearing.
Abdus Subhan, however, pleaded “not guilty”.

Abdus Subhan was arrested in September last year and his indictment came nearly three weeks after Bangladesh executed fellow party leader Abdul Quader Mollah on identical charges.
