Investigation officers quizzed Jamaat-e-Islami leader Mir Quashem Ali at the ‘safe house’ in Dhanmondi in connection with crimes against humanity committed during the country’s Liberation War in 1971.
Investigation officer Nurul Islam told The Daily Star that they started the interrogation around 10:00am and continued till 5:00pm with an hour-long lunch break.
Quashem’s counsel Tajul Islam said that his client was taken to the ‘safe house’ for quizzing as per the permission from the International Crimes Tribunal-1.
Earlier on September 15, the investigation officers had quizzed Quashem Ali on the same charges, he said.
The tribunal-1 on October 8 allowed the investigation officers to interrogate him one more day at the same house.
The government has provided the War Crimes Tribunals a house, which is called the ‘safe house’ in Dhanmondi to interrogate the accused.
Quashem is currently an Islami Bank director, a member of Ibn Sina Trust, and also a director of the non-government organisation Rabeta Alam Al Islami.
