Order on Zafrullah’s contempt Aug 30

A tribunal in Dhaka Monday fixed August 30 to pass an order in a contempt of court proceeding initiated against Gonoshasthaya Kendra founder Zafrullah Chowdhury.

The three-member International Crimes Tribunal-2 led by Justice Obaidul Hassan set the date after hearing the arguments from both the petitioner and defence counsels.

Zafarullah was present at the court and a video clip containing the remarks of Jafarullah demonstrated in large screen inside the court room.

Yesterday, Zafrullah offered unconditional apology to the tribunal for his comment on June 10 that drew contempt of court proceedings against him.
