The investigation agency of the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) will interrogate Major (retd) Mozaffar Hossain, an accused in the assassination case of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman, in a crimes against humanity (miscellaneous) case. The ICT-2, headed by Justice Nozrul Islam Chowdhury, passed the order, allowing a plea filed by the Chief Prosecutor Md Aminul Islam. The tribunal passed the order as Mozaffar was produced before the court in line with its production warrant this morning.

Background and Legal Context

Major (retd) Mozaffar Hossain was arrested by the Detective Branch (DB) of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) on July 15 from the capital's DOHS area and later handed over to the Military Police at Dhaka Cantonment. The second tribunal ordered his production before it on July 21, following allegations of his involvement in various crimes against humanity linked to the 'One-Eleven' period.

Chief Prosecutor Md Aminul Islam highlighted the need for further investigation into Major (retd) Mozaffar's connections with Lt Gen (retd) Masud Uddin Chowdhury, another accused in a crimes against humanity case related to the July Mass Uprising. Both individuals are believed to have had conversations and other links that require thorough probing.

Significance and Implications

This development underscores the ongoing efforts by the ICT to hold individuals accountable for historical crimes against humanity. The interrogation of Major (retd) Mozaffar Hossain is expected to provide crucial insights into the events surrounding the assassination of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman and the broader context of the 'One-Eleven' period.
