The International Crimes Tribunal, ICT, Chief Prosecutor Muhammad Tajul Islam on Wednesday said 2025 would be the year of heinous criminals' trials.

"We will try to make 2025 as the year of golden history. We hope to make this as the year to make those criminals, who committed heinous crimes for long, face trial. We are moving forward, keeping this goal in mind," the chief prosecutor said while exchanging greetings with the newsmen on the first day of the New Year at ICT.

"A new sun has risen in the country through the mass uprising led by the students, and we have been able to start the year in an autocracy-free environment. We have many priorities in 2025, and the biggest priority is to complete a correct and fair trial of all the crimes against humanity, genocides, and oppressions that took place in the country in the last 16 years," he said.

Mentioning that there is a huge pressure of expectation on the tribunal, the chief prosecutor said it is essential to ensure justice over the crimes that have taken place in the country for a long time.

"We need to ensure justice to present a bright future to the new generation of Bangladesh to rebuild their future. An accurate probe or probe report is essential for completing the ICT trial process correctly. That investigation process is going on, and the start and completion of the trial are related to the conclusion of this probe," he added.
