| 2015-08-24 |
| [Dhaka Tribune] The three lawyers, held for financing militancy, have confessed to depositing money into a bank account linked to the Shahid Hamza Brigade, but claimed they were only returning an advocacy fee they had taken in advance. Yesterday, Supreme Court practitioners Barrister Shakila Farzana, daughter of former BNP whip Sayed Wahidul Alam; and Md Hasanuzzaman Liton; and Dhaka judge's court lawyer Mahfuz Chowdhury Bapon gave confessional statements under the penal code before a Chittagong court, said sources. Senior Judicial Magistrate Sajjad Hossain recorded the statements of the three lawyers, shown arrest in an explosives case filed with the Banshkhali cop shoppe on February 21 after a training centre of the Lion of Islam group had been busted. |
