The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) today (Wednesday) scrapped a plea filed by Maj Gen (sacked) Ziaul Ahsan, an accused of crimes against humanity and genocides committed during the student-led July-August Mass Uprising being tried at the tribunal, challenging its jurisdiction.
The three-member tribunal led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder passed the order, saying there is no scope to hear the plea at the tribunal as it is the matter of the constitutional court.
Following the decision, Chief Prosecutor Tajul Islam affirmed that there are no further obstacles to proceeding with the trial at the ICT.
