Allegations have been filed with the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) against 41 individuals, including former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and former military advisor Tarique Ahmed Siddique, in connection with the murder of Dr Fayez Ahmed, the Naib-e-Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami in Lakshmipur district, who was shot dead at his home.
The accused also included former home minister Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir, former RAB additional director general Ziaul Ahsan, and former RAB-11 CEO Tarique Sayed Mohammad.
The victim’s son, Dr Hasanul Bannah, submitted the allegation of crimes against humanity at the office of the court’s chief prosecutor, said plaintiff’s lawyer Abdus Sattar Palowan.
According to the allegations, an armed group in a vehicle displaying Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) stickers arrived under Dr Foyez’s house in the Temuhani area of the district headquarters around 12:30am on December 13, 2013.
The group forcibly broke open the gate and entered the victim’s home.
They dragged Dr Foyez from his room on the second floor to the rooftop of the three-storey building, where they assaulted him, striking his head, face and other parts of his body with the butts of their firearms.
As per the accusations, Tarique Sayed Mohammad shot Dr Foyez in the knee, causing severe bleeding.
To ensure his death, the attackers threw him off the rooftop. They then transported his body to the Sadar Hospital morgue.
The death of Dr Foyez, a widely respected humanitarian physician in the district, sparked nationwide outrage and condemnation.
