“I have held the trial of the killers of the Father of the Nation and like that, those who lost near and dear ones during the Liberation War have the rights to get justice,” she said. “I’m holding the trial of those culprits who committed crimes against humanity during the liberation war and I would continue it — it’s my pledge,” the prime minister added.
Sheikh Hasina also said whatever obstruction comes, the war crimes trial won’t be stopped. “Any achievement is possible if the commitment remains steadfast,” she said.
