| Mutineers' trial to be fair |
| 2009-03-22 |
| Human rights will not be violated even if the BDR members involved in the Pilkhana massacre are tried by court-martial, Law Minister Shafique Ahmed said yesterday. "I repeatedly said the trial process will be fair and transparent. The accused will be given chance for self-defence," the law minister told journalists after inauguration of a new coronary care unit at Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital and Research Institute (ICHRI) in the capital. The Army Act, 1952 could be used to restore chain of command in the paramilitary force, he said. "The government will finalise the mode of trial after getting the probe report on Pilkhana massacre," Shafique said. |
