BNP Standing Committee

member Salahuddin Ahmed said he wants to see justice in the case of his disappearance. He will accept whatever is proven in the trial. However, he wants the criminals to be given the maximum punishment.

Salahuddin made these remarks to reporters after filing a complaint of disappearance at the International Crimes Tribunal's Chief Prosecutor's Office around noon on Tuesday.

Salahuddin handed over the complaint to the tribunal's chief prosecutor Mohammad Tajul Islam. The complaint names seven people, including ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Others named in the complaint are former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan, former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed, former IGP AKM Shahidul Haque, Major General (dismissed) Ziaul Ahsan, former Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia and former head of the police's Special Branch (SB) Monirul Islam. Apart from this, Salahuddin has brought charges against many other unidentified people.

Salahuddin said he was

supposed to come to the Chief Prosecutor's Office of the International Crimes Tribunal earlier to report the disappearance. He was busy with various things and was a little late in collecting information and data.

Salahuddin said it has not been possible to identify everyone involved in the disappearance. He expressed hope that the names of many more accused will come to light in the investigation.

In response to a question, Salahuddin said, he wants to see justice in the trial. He will accept whatever the law deems, whatever is proven in the trial. However, he would like the maximum punishment to be given to those involved. But the law and the court will decide what the punishment will be.

Salahuddin said that during

the last fascist regime, those like him who were victims of disappearances, those who were victims of police killings, those who were victims of judicial killings, those who were tortured in various ways by Awami terrorists, and those who were victims of crimes against humanity in various ways, should be sued at the International Crimes Tribunal.

Salahuddin expressed hope that the government would provide logistical support, including increasing the investigation team, to ensure that the tribunal's activities are carried out smoothly. He said that BNP will continue to provide cooperation in this regard.
