International Crimes Tribunal yesterday further deferred the hearing on charge framing against Jamaat-e-Islami leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee in connection with crimes against humanity during the War of Liberation.
The three-judge panel headed by Justice Nizamul Huq fixed August 23 for the hearing following a petition submitted by the defence lawyers seeking time. It also directed jail authorities to allow the defence lawyers to consult with Sayedee as per the jail code.
The tribunal, on August 10, adjourned the hearing till yesterday.
Tanvir Ahmed Al Amin, a counsel for Sayedee, said the five hours they got on August 16 to talk to Sayedee about the charges brought against him were not enough.
