Dhaka, Nov 6 � The first war crimes tribunal on Tuesday barred Tajul Islam until Nov 22, and asked him and two more of his colleagues to explain why legal action should not be taken against the three lawyers for their 'misconduct' at the tribunal.
Islam and the lawyers -- Mizanul Islam and Tanvir Ahmed Alamin -- are the defence counsels of Jamaat-e-Islami leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee, who is facing charges of crimes against humanity during the Independence War in 1971.
The order comes a day after Sayedee's lawyers boycotted the tribunal for what they said to protest the tribunal's inaction over 'abduction of witness'.
The three defence counsels will have to submit their reply by Nov 22.
Sayedee's counsels on Monday alleged one of his witnesses � Shukhranjan Bali who was previously listed as a prosecution witness � had been abducted by law enforcers.
The three-judge Interntaional Crimes Tribunal-1, set up to try crimes against humanity during the 1971 Liberation War, indicted Sayedee on Oct 3, 2011 for crimes including murder, rape, arson and loot mostly in and around Pirojpur's Parerhat area.
