Razakar leader Forkan's verdict tomorrow
[Dhaka Tribune] The International Crimes Tribunal 2 is set to deliver verdict in the war crimes case against razakar leader Forkan Mallik from Mirzaganj of Patuakhali tomorrow.

The three-member tribunal headed by its Chairman Justice Obaidul Hassan set the date yesterday, nearly a month after the end of argument sessions.

The 63-year-old razakar commander is facing five charges of crimes against humanity he had committed during the 1971 Liberation War in Mirzaganj upazila. The charges include murder, rape, abduction and forced conversion.

The case was kept for verdict on June 14.

Fourteen prosecution witnesses testified at the tribunal while four gave depositions in favour of the accused. He was indicted on December 18 last year.

According to the first charge, razakars led by Forkan and the Pak Army members held Hafiz Uddin Khalifa and Awami League leader Abdul Kader Jomader on August 12, 1971. They were kept confined and later killed.

The same day, the collaborators held Dr Debendra Nath Sarker from his house and shot him dead. Forkan bayoneted Bibha Rani Nath to death when she attempted to save her husband.

Forkan is also charged with forceful conversion of Ramani Kundu, Shyam Sundar Kundu and Sunil Kundu -- three brothers from Subidkhali Bazar under Mirzaganj -- on August 15 at a razakar camp.

On August 17, Forkan and his accomplices held Golapi Rani Saha from the house of Ram Krishna Saha at Subidkhali and raped her at a place named Jugibari. The razakars then abandoned the woman in unconscious condition near her house. She died the following day.

Forkan and his associates in the razakar force raped two women after abduction from the house of Lalit Karmakar at Subidkhali on August 20. The victims were left in front of the house the next day. The family was later forced to leave the village for India.

The accused rubbed out Hatem Ali at Kakarbunia and detained his daughter Aleya Begum on August 22. She was raped repeatedly at Patuakhali Circuit House. Forkan, his cohorts and the Pak Army also killed Sanad Jumar Halder and Elemuddin the same day.
