Law Adviser Asif Nazrul on Wednesday hoped that the trial of the ‘July mass killings’ could be completed before the next national election as the interim government is committed to ensuring justice to brutal, inhuman killings committed during the July-August uprising, reports UNB.

“Though this is a matter of the court, we hope and believe that at the speed we are moving forward, Inshallah, we will be able to complete at least the trial proceedings of the trial court before the next election,” he said.

The law adviser was replying to a question over the July mass killings at a press briefing at the Foreign Service Academy after the submission of the reports of four reform commissions.

He said the trial proceedings are going very smoothly as there is no negligence from anyone’s part here. “Our promise and commitment to you that our government will definitely try the brutal and inhumane genocide that took place in Bangladesh,” said Asif Nazrul.

In the case of the trial of the mass killing, he said the government is mainly giving importance to the International Crime Tribunal (ICT) as the government has a larger involvement with the trials at the ICT.

Mentioning that the investigation of the cases continues fast, he said that it is expected that the hearings on the cases could be started in March next.
