The International Crimes Tribunal-1 on Sunday framed five specific charges against former Jamaat-e-Islami ameer Ghulam Azam for committing crimes against humanity during the 1971 Liberation War.
The Jamaat leader has been indicted for conspiracy, planning, incitement, complicity and murder.
The three-judge panel headed by Justice Md Nizamul Huq fixed June 5 for starting trial against Ghulam Azam.
After reading out the charges, the presiding judge asked the Jamaat leader whether he pleaded guilty or not.
The 89-year-old Jamaat leader, arrested on January 11, denied the charges and claimed to be innocent.
The tribunal started the day’s proceedings around 10:40am, which continued for two hours.
Earlier, the tribunal dismissed a petition seeking discharge from the charges brought by the prosecution against Ghulam Azam.
The prosecution charged the Jamaat leader with 62 counts of crimes against humanity on January 5.
The tribunal accepted formal charges against Ghulam Azam on January 9.
