Air Force officer Saifur sent to jail

The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has denied bail to Bangladesh Air Force Wing Commander Saifur Rahman and sent him to jail in a crimes against humanity case over the enforced disappearance of BNP leader Ilias Ali.

A two-member panel of Tribunal-1, led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder, passed the order on Sunday and set Oct 25 for submission of the investigation report.

Saifur was brought to the tribunal shortly before 9am in an Air Force microbus. Tribunal-1 had issued an arrest warrant for him on Aug 9 following a prosecution request.

Chief Prosecutor Md Aminul Islam asked the court to formally arrest Saifur in the case and send him to jail.
