Pakistan has no objection to war crime trials in Bangladesh
DHAKA: Islamabad has not made any formal statement about the trial of war criminals in Bangladesh, Pakistan High Commissioner Ashraf Qureshi said on Tuesday. “It is guess work of the media, which reports that Pakistan is opposed to the trial,” he said. “The issue of trial of alleged Pakistani war criminals had been settled through the Simla agreement,” he said. “We have no concern about the Bangladesh government’s initiative to try the war criminals living in Bangladesh,” the high commissioner said while talking to the media after a meeting with Law Minister Barrister Shafique Ahmed at his office in Dhaka. The law minister said Qureshi made it clear that Pakistan will not interfere in the trial of those who committed crimes against humanity. app
