The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT)-1 has sentenced two war criminals of Moulvibazar to death and three others to life imprisonment for their crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.

A three-member judge panel headed by Justice Md Shahinur Islam announced the verdict on Wednesday morning.

Earlier, the Tribunal on Tuesday set today to pass its judgment.

The ICT-1 on November 20, 2017, kept the verdict on CAV (curia advisory vault, a Latin legal term meaning the court awaits verdict), meaning the court can pass verdict on any day.

The five accused are Shamsul Hossain Tarafder alias Ashraf, Md Nesar Ali, Yunus Ahmed, Md. Ujer Ahmed Chowdhury and Mobarak Mia.

Of the five, only Yunus and Ujer are in jail.

The ICT-1 on June 9, 2016, took five charges pressed by the prosecution, into cognizance.

Hearing on charge framing was held on November 2, of the same year.

The tribunal on December 8, 2016, indicted the five in the crimes against humanity case.
