Following the directives of President Abdul Hamid, the law ministry issued a notification in this regard yesterday.
Besides, Justice Amir Hossain of the High Court and Dhaka district judge Abu Ahmed Jamadar have been appointed as ICT members, said Zahirul Haq, secretary at the law ministry.
The trial proceedings at the tribunal remained suspended after the demise of chairman Justice Anwarul Haque on July 13.
Other member of the tribunal Justice Suhrawardi was sent back to the High Court division after the reconstitution of the ICT with its chairman and two members.
The ICT was constituted on March 25, 2010. Some 33 cases are now under trial at the
tribunal.
Meanwhile, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) yesterday said it did not support general strike called by its one of the key alliance partners, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, protesting the arrest of its top leaders, including its chief Maqbul Ahmad.
BNP senior leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said yesterday that the party has not taken any decision to support the strike.
Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has called a countrywide dawn-to-dusk shutdown for today to register its protest against the arrest and remand of its top
leaders.
On Monday night, police arrested top Jamaat leaders, including its chief Maqbul Ahmad, from the city’s Uttara area while they were allegedly holding a clandestine meeting.
