Justice Nizamul Huq
International
Crimes Tribunal-1 chairman Justice Nizamul Huq Nasim has stepped down
following publication of his Skype conversation with an expatriate
jurist on the tribunal activities. Confirming the resignation to The Daily Star Tuesday afternoon, Law Minister Shafique Ahmed said, "His resignation will not hamper the trial procedure of the war criminals."
"We hope the government will appoint a new judge for his replacement by Wednesday," he said, adding that he will now get back to the office of a High Court judge.
However, opposition BNP demanded trail of justice Nasim for violating the judicial customs.
"He (justice Nasim) violates the judicial customs, he should face trail immediately," MK Anwar, a standing committee member of BNP said at a press conference at Naya Paltan in the capital.
On Monday, lawyers loyal to the main opposition BNP and its close ally Jamaat-e-Islami demanded his resignation for what they said his “misconduct” by reportedly holding Skype conversations with a Bangladeshi expatriate about the trial proceedings.
The demands were made after a Bangla national daily on December 9 and 10 published two reports on the reported Skype conversations between Justice Nizamul and several persons including one Ziauddin Ahmed, an international criminal law expert, living in Belgium.
