The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on Tuesday received a complaint against eight people, including ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina, over the killing of journalist Tahir Zaman Priyo during the anti-discrimination student movement.
Martyred Priyo’s mother Shamsi Ara Zaman filed the complaint at the ICT chief prosecutor’s office, reports BSS.
“My son used to work for online news portal ‘The Report.’ He was gunned down behind Lab Aid Hospital in Dhanmondi area around 5pm on July 19. Someone from a group of gunmen wearing APBn uniform shot him from behind. There are video footages of the gruesome killing of my son,” the grieving mother said.
Shamsi Ara Zaman further said she hoped that families of all the martyrs and people injured in the anti-discrimination student movement will get justice at the ICT.
